“I didn’t think I would be able to achieve such a result now” – high jumper Spiridonova about her victory at the indoor championship in the Czech Republic

Athlete Natalia Spiridonova said that she did not expect to clear the height of 2.00 meters at the Russian Indoor Championships, which took place in Moscow.

Spiridonova won gold in the competition with a score of 2.00 meters, which is her personal best. In the world rankings, he now occupies third place. Second place was shared by Maria Lasitskene and Daria Slepova, both athletes achieved a result of 1.93 meters on the third attempt.

“I didn’t expect to be capable of such a result now.” The first thought was that I didn’t know how to jump or what to do. On my first attempt, I dropped the bar. Before going out for the second attempt, we chatted with the coach, discussed what to do, practiced the swing, then I put my foot down and took off.

I ran to the carpet to hug the bear, it’s my talisman, I always play with it, my grandfather gave it to me a long time ago. “He always helps me,” Spiridonova noted in the program “Special Report” of the channel.
