Olympic medalist in diving, world champion Evgeny Kuznetsov said he was pleased with his performance at the BetBoom Russian Cup, especially considering the lack of sufficient training due to a sore hand.
Kuznetsov and Nikita Shleicher won gold at the Saratov competition in synchronized diving on the three-meter springboard.
“We jumped very cool today, I’m happy.” Moreover, I trained for exactly a week and managed to show such beautiful jumps, ”Kuznetsov told .
— If I understand correctly, there were problems with the brush?
— With this brush that I always finish. Where the top bone hurts, and now the pain has gone to the forearm, you have to survive a little. So overall I’m happy. Last Tuesday I started training, I hadn’t jumped for over a month, I didn’t know what to expect, it was very scary to somehow prove myself unworthy of the top of my years of sport. Glad everything went well.
—Will there be a possibility of treating the hand now?
— We have 1.5 months for this. I’m going to the doctor, I’ll consult, I have to stop this.
