Athlete Olga Vovk said she did not expect to win the 3000 meter race at the Russian Indoor Championships.
On Friday, Vovk achieved the best time over this distance – 8 minutes 59.31 seconds. Svetlana Aplachkina took second place (8:59.74), Lyubov Dubrovskaya third (9:01.01).
– In fact, this victory is a total surprise for me. Nothing suggested that I could win. The whole season there were difficulties, nothing worked out, illnesses, and I came here with a clear understanding: if there is a tactical race, then our chances are equal. Of course, I was not the strongest physically, but sport is not only a struggle of strength, but also a struggle of characters and circumstances. Today I managed to overcome the circumstances and I am very happy,” Vovk said on the show “Everyone for the match!” “. on .
The Russian Indoor Championships will take place from February 23 to 25 in Moscow.
