Jumper in the water Klyueva: “Everyone thinks we are swimmers”

European Diving Champion Uliana Klyueva says that from time to time I have to explain to people the difference between swimming and his sport.

On Thursday, Klyueva won bronze in synchronized ski jumping with Alexander Cherepakhin at the Russian Championships in Yekaterinburg.

— I try to talk about diving and promote it. I post workout videos on social media and get a lot of comments. I used to post on TikTok, there was a lot of activity, but now it’s problematic to post there. Now I mostly do stories. Recently a girl who was diving wrote to me, she quit, but when she saw my stories she realized she was bored and started jumping again, Klyueva told .

In general, we have positive measures to promote sport. Recently reviewed the show “Tower”. I wish there were more. Now they are shooting the movie “In the Stream of Three Elements” – great, it will be released in cinemas too!

– Maya Gurbanberdieva posted an example of a math problem on synchronized swimmers, although obviously it’s about jumps. How do you explain to people what kind of sport you practice?

– I show the video. Everyone thinks we are swimmers. I explain that if we are swimming, then the maximum is on the side. Although I passed the standard and even participated in competitions at Artek. My father is a swimmer, candidate master of sports, was 8th in the Russian championship.

Watch live broadcasts of the Russian Diving Championship from June 24 to 29 on the Match outfit TV channels, as well as on the sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru websites.
