Double Olympic champion Yevgeny Rylov said his coach Andrey Shishin continues to work with him in a consulting role, but has generally taken long vacations after the difficult process of preparing for the Tokyo Olympics.
– I am at maximum work for the body. But here (at the Friendship Games) I plan to show myself again at 200m, it’s more difficult to perform at 100m under load, ”said Rylov in the studio.
Where do you find the motivation now?
– This is one of the main tasks of an athlete when he is deprived of the opportunity to start. You have to run with time, look for motivation in there, but it’s not easy for everyone, because you have to relax after events like this year.
– You had other changes – the coach changed.
– Andrei Gennadievich (Shishin) took a long vacation for a few years. There were difficult years, it was difficult for us to work, personally we were exhausted, because we took everything out of ourselves. Now I work with Oksana Logvinova, my girlfriend. The methodology is different. Conversations are taking place with Andrey Gennadievich, but the methodology is different – it is smaller in volume, the work is fast.
– Will we see the old Rylov at least in August?
– Towards the end of the 200 m at the “Friendship Games” and still at the Spartakiad, – said the athlete.
