Russian high jumper, world indoor champion Danil Lyssenko who showed the best result of the season in the world at the Battle of the Sexes tournament in Moscow, noted that he was ready to compete in Asia.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on January 25 that it would consider the possibility of allowing Russians and Belarusians to participate in world competitions in a neutral status, which did not actively support the NWO. The next day, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) offered to give athletes from Russia and Belarus the opportunity to participate in competitions in Asia, including the Asian Games.
The athlete on Sunday overcame the bar at a height of 2.38 meters.
– Do you have top form now?
– Yes, I myself did not expect such a result, to be honest.
– How hard is it to motivate yourself to be at your best in the world when there is no permission?
– Easily motivated. I didn’t have the opportunity to compete for 4 years, now I get high every time I start, every opportunity, I try not to turn down a single tournament. I am very happy to be able to perform anywhere.
– You are 2.38 meters tall, your closest competitor in the world is 2.27. That’s a shame?
— I am happy to show such results in our country. I hope they will soon give us the opportunity to compete and show that our country is strong.
Does the latest news inspire confidence?
The latest, yes. For some reason, I have a good feeling. Let us hope for the best.
Are you ready to perform in Asia?
– If there is an opportunity – yes, of course.
– Have you imposed a neutral status on yourself?
No, I haven’t applied yet. I think I will do it soon.
– Don’t you think there could be problems because of your last disqualification?
I don’t know, I don’t want to think about it. I hope there will be no problems,” Lyssenko told a correspondent.
