– Have the last two years tempered your character?

Have you watched the Olympics?
– I try to always watch the competitions at least in my events.
– If you compare the level of the Games and the current World Cup in Budapest, is there a big difference?
– The year is post-Olympic, so the level is lower, someone graduated, new faces have appeared. From what I remember: I was amazed at how consistently the Canadian jumped and became second.
What motivates you in the current situation?
— The Federation does more different competitions, they try to keep us in shape so as not to lose our dexterity. I don’t think globally in advance, because it affects the nervous system a lot. As it will be, it will be so in two years – do what you must and come what may. I only focus on immediate tasks.
