Winner of the European Championship Ilya Molchanov said he did not show his toughest program on the meter springboard in Penza, but he was happy to win his first gold medal since 2019 at the Russian Diving Championships in this type of program .
The Russian Championship takes place in Penza.
– Since 2019, there is no more gold on the “counter”. So, you could say, even happy, – said Molchanov “”. The program was now the same as then.
No need to complicate this?
– I have jumps with a higher difficulty factor, the coach and I haven’t set them up, because tomorrow we have a 3m springboard, and we have to save some energy on all the equipment . According to the schedule, we happen to skip four days in a row.
– How are you? Do you like the atmosphere of the swimming pool? Don’t allow yourself to be very sad without international competitions?
We create a good atmosphere. There is a broadcast – relatives, friends are watching. It already adds to the ambiance. Previously, only international departures were displayed.
– On the three-metre springboard, what result do you agree on?
– I would like to show my best attempts – both in the morning, in the semi-finals and hopefully in the final too.
