Athlete Sergei Shubenkov won the 110m hurdles on “Sprint Day” as part of the “Athletics Week” held in Luzhniki. After the victory, the athlete shared his impressions of the competition and talked about his future plans.
The athlete’s result of 13.33 is 9 hundredths of a second better than what he showed three days earlier on Monday at the Znamensky Memorial. After the end of the competition, Shubenkov assessed the progress and admitted that he considered Yuri Borzakovsky’s participation in the Star Run, which opened the evening session, where Nikita Nagorny, Alexander Legkov, Vic Wild, Denis Glushakov, Alexei Yagudin, Alexei Savrasenko, Dmitry Guberniev and Yuri participated, somewhat dishonest Borzakovsky, who won the 100m with a score of 12.38 seconds.
“Nine hundredths in two days, is that normal?”
– Look what is happening, there have been three departures in less than a month. We started in Sochi, we didn’t start very well. Now I can already conclude that this departure was the first and a bit on my nerves. Injury, big break, new competition, lots of distractions – it was a bit scary. The second start, Znamensky Memorial, went better.
Great atmosphere, organization, I arrived, I ran 1:41 p.m. I wanted it to be faster, but it turned out to be. Two days have passed, the next start, today is a normal story, I have such a series at this time – the Diamond League, World Tour, that is, a few days and the next departure is launched. It works like a workout, and very cool, good, allowing you to add, although you can also add up to a certain limit. Today went well, I’m happy.
– Did the mood today coincide with what it was in Znamensky?
– Today’s atmosphere is warmer, more everyday, simpler, and the holiday mood is gone. In addition, today, I admit, the day did not work out for me in the morning – on waking – depression, I do not want to do anything. And I wanted this day to end quickly so that I could already go home. But no, it’s just bullshit, the mood, the psychological state – it’s just bullshit, if you’ve trained, if the muscles are ready, then you have to take it and run. And if you are not ready, nothing will help you, neither mood nor will.
– Waiting for you at the Russian Cup?
– Yes wait. You have to leave at 1:20 p.m., that’s usually mine.
– There was no idea with such a bad mood to go not to the final, but to the start of the Golden Run, with Guberniev and Borzakovsky?
“I want to participate in such things all the time, I really do! But I think it’s a bit dishonest for me, as an athlete, or for Borzakovsky, not to compete with athletes. Of course, the winner was very predictable, even though the race turned out to be top notch. We’ve missed this element of the show so much, finally we’re running competitions the way they should always be.

– If it’s not athletics, then what?
– I only tried myself in e-sport, if we are talking about real competitions. Well…I can swim something, by the way. In the games rooms… the experience of colleagues shows that it is better not to go there, so Wade van Niekerk played rugby and then was treated for two years.
– On skates?
“The semi-axle can jump.
– Isn’t it a pity that more journalists have come to Trusova than to you now?
– Not. Who am I and who is Trusova? Nothing suprising.
– She’s not a world champion, unlike you.
– It’s not about the result, it’s about the look and feel, but it was beautiful, like today’s star race.
