Athlete Timur Morgunov who competes in the pole vault, said he did not participate in the Znamensky Brothers Memorial tournament due to a leg injury.
The Znamensky Memorial opened a series of athletics starts this year, Athletics Week, which takes place in Luzhniki from June 7-13.
– I’m not really hurt. In winter, I encountered an unpleasant sore, it hurts below the knee. All this is due to high loads, it just takes a little time. A little late, but now everything is fine. In a few days I will play in Tver. The goal is to show good technical jumps, to work on a few elements, to jump as high as possible. As the season progresses, I will develop.
The schedule is not practical for the athletes, but we have a great opportunity to play as close as possible. It’s good that we made the Week of Athletics, the public will be able to experience this sport for themselves,” Morgunov said on the air of “All for the match” on .
Athlete Polina Knoroz, who won first place in the pole vault at the Znamensky Memorial with a score of 4.50 meters, said she is not in full physical preparation at the moment.
– The result is not very satisfied. My personal best is 4.81m, but yesterday I was not in full combat preparation. This result corresponds to the physical state. At the next competition, I will jump.
I have not yet reached the full fight, because the main departure is the championship of Russia, which will be held in August. We are not in a hurry now, so as not to exhaust ourselves. I didn’t play in the CR team in Sochi, because I wasn’t ready enough, Knoroz said.
