On Sunday, Lyssenko won the international athletics tournament “We are together” in Belarus, repeating the best result of the season in the world. The Russian jumped to a height of 2.33 meters.
Earlier, his compatriot Ilya Ivanyuk, South Korean Wu San Hyuk, American Juwon Harrison and Australian Joel Baden showed the same result in the season. This result qualifies for the Olympic Games in Paris.
– There was an opportunity, the coach offered to perform in Belarus. Why not? The scenery is great! Everything is different there. I really enjoyed this trip and the competition itself. True, the weather was not lucky – there was a strong wind in the face. When I jumped at 2:33 a heavy downpour started. My first attempt was unsuccessful, then I waited a bit, the downpour subsided. On the second try, I took 2.33 meters. Then at 2:35 I managed to make a good attempt – the bar was almost upright, I hooked it with my heels, it tipped over and fell.
– That is to say, if the weather was better, then it would be possible to take 2.35?
– Maybe. Who knows? In principle, I liked the stadium, it was very comfortable to jump there, and the condition was finally good, Lyssenko told .
