— Are there any plans for overseas training camps for the guys? And how was the training camp in China?

— The training camp in China is very important, it is a small victory for our federation. There were excellent conditions there: an outdoor swimming pool not only with diving towers, but also with towers for high divers, a trampoline and an acrobatic hall, equipped with all the necessary criteria for jumpers. There were special Chinese trampolines, not very bouncy – you have to make an effort. This is a very important equipment for training ski jumpers.

Athletes from another city came to the match meeting as part of this training camp. They were not the strongest Chinese athletes. But the fact itself was important for building relationships. This will help us organize training events in China in the future. They will know that we come all the time, there will already be strong training partners,” Galperin said in an interview with .
