Acting Head of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA) Irina Privalova appreciated the words of the 31-year-old 110-meter hurdles world champion Sergei Shubenkov that he intends to compete in the 2028 Olympics if he does not compete in the 2024 Games.
At the 2020 Games, the athlete withdrew from the third qualifying 110-meter hurdles due to a torn Achilles tendon.
– It’s good when [у спортсмена] there is such optimism. Because everything comes from your head: you gave yourself such an attitude that everything will be fine and that I can perform in the Olympics, which means that he will succeed.
I’m very happy for Sergei that he came out of his injury last year. I spoke with his personal trainer, who is also optimistic. I think Sergey will always have his say,” Privalova said on the All for the Match show on .
Shubenkov became the winner of the 110-meter hurdles on June 10 as part of the Week of Athletics in Moscow.
