During the Russian team championship in Sochi on May 25, Lasitskene announced that she was going to undergo a medical examination regarding Achilles which was bothering her. After that, she missed the week of athletics, which was held in Moscow in June.

– Gennady Garikovich, how is Maria’s rehabilitation process going? Did you have to have surgery? And will it be possible to recover by the Asian Games if they decide to participate?
