Razelyn: I don’t physically rejoice when someone dies in our house.

The Ukrainian won a medal at the World Fencing Championship.

2020 Olympic Games bronze medalist fencer Igor Reyzlin won a bronze medal at the World Fencing Championship.

According to the athlete, he had health problems right from the very beginning of the tournament.

“These competitions are generally very tough, not for the first time in my life and certainly not for the last time I’ve fenced, having health problems. The knee that bothered me during the season was almost healed in Cairo.My elbow started to get worse.hurt.This is the same problem that Bogdan Nikishin experienced before the Olympics in Tokyo.On the morning of the warm-up, I realized I was helpless and very anxious.

I started the competition thinking of at least the first fight – with Roman Alexandrov from Uzbekistan. And then in the next duel with Dutchman Tristan Thulen there was also a tight clash: guard on guard, elbow shot very hard, needed a freeze. Although, in principle, in every meeting there is at least one such situation when it is very painful.

So, the fact that we were able to win a medal even today, not to mention yesterday, seems like a miracle. “

Reislin also commented on his reserved reaction to the awards ceremony.

“Honestly, there is no desire to show any emotion against the backdrop of what is happening in our homeland.

I do everything in my power to show the result and raise the flag of Ukraine. But I’m just physically unable to rejoice when people die at home, ”Reislin quoted the official website of the Ukrainian Fencing Federation as saying.
