Silver Medal of the High Jump World Championships Danil Lyssenko told that he hadn’t had enough weeks to recover between performances at the Belarusian and Russian Championships.
Last Sunday, Lyssenko won the Russian championship in athletics in Chelyabinsk, breaking the bar at a height of 2.33 meters. On July 30, he became the winner of the Belarusian championship in Minsk, setting the best result of the season in Europe – 2.35 meters.
– In Chelyabinsk, it was difficult to compete in the Russian Championship. We managed to show a decent result largely thanks to the support from the stands. The public is very motivating. Last year, at the Chelyabinsk Spartakiad, I jumped 2.28 meters. In this I almost finished at 2.27. I already thought that this place is where I’m unlucky. But I managed to pull myself together.
– Before the final series “Queen of Russian sports”. Will you have time to recover after the national championship?
It’s hard to say, I’ll try to do it. A week passed after the Belarusian championship, and I didn’t have enough time. I don’t know how it will be in Yekaterinburg,” Lyssenko told .
The final of the “Queen of Russian Sports” athletics series will be held in Yekaterinburg from August 17 to 19.
