Russian diving champion Elizabeth Kuzina said she was forced to withdraw from the International University Sports Festival final during performances on the tower in order to “survive” before the start on the three-metre springboard.
Kuzina won in this discipline at the festival held in Yekaterinburg.
– Lisa, the leg is taped, prevention or injury?
– After the Russian Championship, I was treated, but I didn’t have time until the end, so I’m all stuck. Again.
– Start at an odd time of year – like the offseason, but the training block is already on its way. How are you doing?
“It was not easy to prepare. I trained for a month at the stadium without water, but for me a week without water is a lot. At the Krugly we were at training camp, they were already preparing diligently to be more or less in an acceptable form.
– You had an athlete from China in the final. How do you judge its level?
– I really liked her jumps in the warm-up, but in the final she missed the jump and it didn’t work for direct wrestling.
“Have you reduced your number of disciplines here?”
– Yesterday I skipped the preliminary round, but I withdrew from the final to live until this day. Tomorrow I will jump a one meter springboard and the day after tomorrow mixed.
– So rest, treatment?
– Maybe a week or two, then I’ll start training again.
– Are you going to play in Krylatskoye at protests?
“There you have to jump the tower, so I pass,” Kuzina told .
