Honored coach of Russia Yevgeny Ter-Avanesov believes that the withdrawal of domestic athletes from international competitions does not cause them motivation problems.
– Athletics in this sense is a very good sport, because the results are measured in it and they can always be compared. For example, Sasha Trusova entered the sector for the first time, jumped 3.80 m, she made a second attempt and she flew even further. And in the third, and in the fourth, she added all the time. And this effervescence, the desire to become better and better attracts both children and adults. Great athletes, of course, are driven by encounters with foreign rivals, the Olympics. And that’s right. But at the same time, the numbers on the dashboard are still the measure of everything.
But the main thing, in my opinion, is your own achievements. After all, sooner or later everything will change, we will return to the world stage, and we have to be ready for that in order to go out and win again, quotes RT Ter-Avanesov.
On Thursday, Trusova competed in the long jump during Luzhniki Athletics Week, which ends on June 13. The Olympic figure skating champion, with a score of 4.10 meters, took last place in the under-20 category, where she had five rivals.
