Silver medal at the European Pole Vault Championships Timur Morgunov spoke about the goal of the next Russian Cup in athletics, which will be held on July 14-15 in Zhukovsky.
– I missed the winter season, I jumped very few jumps on a full race. This season I encountered a running problem that does not allow me to jump as high as possible. The main goal of the Cup is to feel technically easy jumps in order to show your maximum closer to the Russian championship, ”said Morgunov in the program “All for the match!” on MatchTV.
Double Russian champion in this indoor discipline Polina Knoroz admitted that she wouldn’t be upset if she didn’t show a good result at the Russian Cup.
– The main task is to remove technical errors that are still present. It is necessary to prepare for the Russian championship. It’s not my job to jump as high as possible. If I don’t show a good result, I won’t be upset, because my tasks are a bit different,” Knoroz said.
