Diving World Championships Julia Timoshina told that the mixed doubles victory in the tower with Ruslan Ternov proved to be highly anticipated and that she was very worried about the last jump of the program.
Timoshinin/Ternova won the mixed doubles at the first stage of the Friendship Games in Kazan.
Timoshinine: This is our long-awaited first mixed doubles victory with Ruslan, you can’t imagine how much!
— How is the selection of synchronized partners in mixed doubles going?
Ternovoi: Someone chooses himself, someone coaches – according to technique, jumps, program, even external data, height.
Timoshinine: We chose each other.
– Ilya Zakharov said that he still did not like the mixture.
Timoshinine: I always liked that. Everyone has their own opinion.
– What is the biggest difficulty to perform in such synchronism?
Ternovoi: It’s not always easy for a boy to adapt and jump in sync. We push higher and the program is more difficult. She jumps to the max and I kind of fit her sideways.
The last jump was great.
Timoshinine: Yes! But what worried me the most was that jump, lately I haven’t been very good in terms of technique. She told Ruslan “if it doesn’t go so well, it’s not my fault.”
