Vera Filatova, winner of the Russian Cup in the 200m, told that this season she had stopped chasing money and was preparing as she felt comfortable.
On Saturday, Filatova won the Russian Cup in the 200 meters with a personal best 22.83 seconds. Second place was taken by Uliana Bazhenova (23.22), third – by Anastasia Shakulo (23.26).
More than satisfied with my result. Last year I had a personal best of 22.92, but I got injured and couldn’t qualify for the Russian championship. I am happy to have returned and to have proven to myself and to the public that my result was not accidental, but was the result of fruitful work.
I like my form. The plans are to prepare for the Russian Championship and then for the final of the “Queen of Russian sports”.
Busy schedule? Last year, the competition was even tighter. Because they started paying big prices, I wanted to grab it all, I think that’s why I got hurt. This year, I’ve discounted money as much as possible and prepared in a way that works for me. Two weeks is the best time to recover from the start and do some eyeliner work for the next start.
Of course, I intend to improve the result in the Russian Championship. How much? I won’t tell you,” Filatova told .
