Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene explained why she cried before the last attempt at the 15th stage of the competition series “The Queen of Russian Sports – The way to Olympus”.
– Emotions before the last attempt? I do not know. That’s what was inside. It’s out of control, all together, en masse. This happened to me for the first time. But I tried to pull myself together – that’s a plus. I think it’s called hysteria. My general condition is getting worse every day. What is energizing? The situation in the world.
The world championship took place without me, I accepted it. I have to show what I can do. Today, everything didn’t work out because of my psychological state. But I have to deal with it, because I don’t want to be hysterical.
You have to give yourself room for wonder. But I became too negative during this time. I try to compete with myself. But it’s difficult,” Lasickene told reporters.
Lasickene won the tournament with a score of 1.91 meters. On the last attempt, the athlete tried to take a height of 1.96, but she did not submit.
