Diving World Championships Julia Timoshina She said she now feels more confident in competitions than she did at the start of her career.
Timoshinin and Ekaterina Belyaeva won the synchronized platform diving at the Russian Championships in Penza. The second was Anna Konanykhina/Ulyana Manaenkova.
– Competitive practice, as I understand it, is enough for you, but is there enough intensity of the fight in the “synchronous” on the tower?
– We have a worthy competition with the girls, who today became the second. They don’t let us relax. We know no such thing – we will be the first. We worry about every jump, we are worried,” Timoshinina told .
Did you watch the World Cup?
– It was sad to watch. Now, after the Olympics, the roster has been updated, the adults are gone, and we’re competitive globally. I would like to compete, it’s a pity that there was no such opportunity.
– This time there were two Chinese women on the tower podium – 14 and 16 years old. It is clear that this has already happened, but how do you explain it to yourself?
– I can say for myself: it was more difficult for me at that age. It’s only now that I’m starting to feel confident. And Chinese women are still strong, but perhaps it’s still a little more difficult for them to act as adults – they often quickly quit sports.
The Russian Diving Championship in Penza will end on July 16. You can follow the live broadcasts of the competitions on .
