“At the tournament in 2022, the scores weren’t immediately available either. I thought that even now I wouldn’t have enough points” – Russian diving champion Kuzina

jump in the water Elizabeth Kuzina On , she said she had mixed emotions after winning the three-meter springboard at the Russian Championships, and also spoke of her excitement ahead of the final scores.

Cousin won the Russian championship on Thursday, which takes place in Yekaterinburg. She scored 327.90 points. Second was Maria Polyakova (326.25). Third – Kristina Ilyinykh (309.60).

– What emotions?

“Now, to be honest, mixed emotions. But, of course, I’m happy with the result. I was very worried, especially before the last jump. We had to show a good result. I think everything worked.

Why are the emotions mixed?

Because I was nervous, I guess. And now there is both joy and excitement. It’s not yet clear.

– Before the last attempt, did you understand that you can’t make mistakes and that Maria Polyakova did everything right?

– Yes, I saw that Masha made a good jump. I calculated in my head how many points I have to score. And the “screws” I have such a jump that I can make both six points and 7.5. Therefore, she was worried.

– There were no notes for a long time. You were looking at the dashboard. What were they thinking at that time?

– At the Russian Championship in Penza in 2022, there were also some scores not immediately. I waited and waited and then the scoreboard showed second place. I was very upset. I feel like I had a flashback right now. I thought maybe that wasn’t enough. But enough, and I am very happy.

– At this championship, we made too many mistakes in some individual jumps. To what extent does such an end of CR seem logical to you? Remains that the last type of the program and the first gold in three meters in a career?

– Yes, indeed, there were a lot of errors both on the counter, and in the synchronous, in the mixed, but it seems to me that here I was quite stable, especially the fourth jump. I don’t get it that often in competition. So overall I’m happy with myself today,” Kuzina said on .
