Diving World Championships Christina Ilinykh told that they Elizabeth Kuzina added to the compulsory program in relation to the Russian championship in Penza.
Athletes won in synchronized diving at the first stage of the Friendship Games in Kazan.
– Two pairs of adults in the final – aren’t you sad?
Ilyinykh: – It’s sad, it’s a pity that there were no couples from other countries in this type of program.
– You recently jumped together. What is the state of play after the Russian championship?
Ilyinykh: We made good progress in the compulsory program and the fourth vault, we did the third vault better than at the Russian Championships
Cousin: – Better did the third jump, the fourth… But in general, it’s still not the level we expected.
– Who is your pessimist, who is the optimist in “synchronism”?
Ilinykh: – I think it’s understandable (laughs). In fact, it all depends on my mood. Yesterday I didn’t feel very well in training, I was in a depressed mood and Lisa said to me: “come on, you’re the best, you’re going to succeed”. Also, I support her.
– Why do we have so few “synchronous” adults on the springboard?
Ilinykh: – The generation is growing, they will appear soon, I think.
