“Energy rushes.” Cousin spoke about the sensations of divers when performing elements

Multiple Russian diving champion Elizaveta Kuzina told how divers feel when performing elements in competitions.

— Strength, lightness, how energy comes out of you. You jump to the edge of the board and realize you can do anything with your body. Even if the repulsion is imperfect, I understand where I am in the air, if I need to open up a little sooner, or on the contrary later.

When this state of readiness is disrupted, some uncertainty immediately arises. Are you flying and thinking, “Oh my God, where am I?” » It’s good, I see everything while jumping. But it’s still difficult,” Kuzina said, as quoted by RT.

On Saturday, February 3, Kuzina, in a duet with Kristina Ilyinykh, won gold in synchronized diving on the three-meter springboard at the BetBoom Russian Cup in Saratov.
