Aquatic diver Ilyinykh: “I had double pneumonia, it took me a long time to recover”

Medalist at the World Diving Championships Kristina Ilinykh She said that in the off-season she suffered from double pneumonia, from which it took her a long time to recover.

Ilinykh and Elizaveta Kuzina won the synchronized 3m springboard at the BetBoom Russian Cup in Saratov.

“The synchronized start after the individual jump, where I didn’t do everything right, was exciting for me. But in the end we managed to win and score a record number of points. The timing gets better every time.

— Does it “infuse” and become more stable?

– Something like that.

— Is it difficult to enter the season at the beginning of February?

“We’re just used to it, it’s an annual return to school, everyone tries to be in shape. As for the competition, if I understand correctly, there will be a Cup of Eurasian Countries.

— The team had a lot of injuries during the offseason. Do you have such sad adventures?

– There were others! We had a competition in Kazan, where I didn’t play, got very sick and only recently managed to recover.

— Seasonal flu, ARVI?

– Bilateral pneumonia. It’s a mystery to me how I got sick, I didn’t seem very hypothermic, I didn’t have much contact with anyone. I came from a training camp in Krugloy and in Kazan I felt bad, they called an ambulance, it turned out that I had pneumonia. “I was on antibiotics and had to recover for a long time,” Ilinykh told .
