Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene after winning the tournament in Yekaterinburg, she said on that her body allows her to participate in competitions.
Lasitskene became the winner of the “Christmas Starts” tournament, clearing the bar at a height of 1.89 meters. The athlete attempted to reach a height of 1.94 m, but all three attempts failed.
— The main thing is that we have started (to compete), that nothing really bothers us, our body allows us to jump. The fans came to support us very zealously and in a wonderful way. It gets you back into competitive shape. It reminds me of the end of last season in Yekaterinburg – it was very bright, a real vacation. I am very happy, I congratulate everyone on the holiday. Peace, kindness, happiness, love to all families, and good results and patience for us.
Did you somehow win by chance? It seemed so to you (laughs). I felt good, I felt like I had everything I needed for the result, but… I’m not going to scold myself too much. Gennady Garikovich (Gabrilyan – coach of Lasitskene – approx.) said: we aim, we take a closer look. So I am grateful to the body that can support me and carry me,” Lasitskene said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!” » on the channel.
