Russian track and field athlete Anna Chicherova believes that the Olympic champion Maria Lasitskene could break his Russian high jump record.
— You still hold the Russian record of 2.07 m, which you set 13 years ago. What could this mean?
“So it’s not that easy to do.” Before that, the record I had broken had stood for 20 years. Let’s see if mine lasts that long.
– Who can beat your record?
— All recordings are rewritten, so anything is possible. In my opinion, Masha Lasitskene could break the record. I always thought she could change the history of athletics. She has already done it, writing her name on the tablets as a three-time world champion in our event,” Chicherova said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
The personal best of Lasitskene, 31, is 2.06m.
Chicherova is the champion of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, as well as the world champion, European champion and eight-time champion of Russia. In 2016, the athlete was disqualified for two years for using a banned drug.
