Athletistic / Athletics. The champion of the Russian team championship in pole vaulting, Polina Knoroz, said that she follows the results of international competitions in order to compete in absentia with the results of the strongest athletes.
“I know how the girls jumped during the Diamond League in Doha. Now I managed to catch them, which I am very happy about.”
I am happy with my jumps during the first start of the summer season. We can say that in Sochi I showed an incredible result. I am happy that everything happened like this, although it was very difficult for me both mentally and physically, but the support of my family, friends, Timur Morgunov and my coach played a role. It was very difficult for me to jump higher, because I hadn’t yet achieved full momentum and now I’m not in my best shape. In general, I did not think in advance that I would achieve such a result in Sochi,” Knoroz was quoted as saying by TASS.
At the 2024 Russian Team Championship, Polina Knoroz jumped 4.73 meters. Australian Nina Kennedy and Briton Molly Coderie posted exactly the same result during the May stage of the Diamond League in Doha (Qatar).
Russian athletics athletes are no longer allowed to participate in international competitions from February 2022. Note that from 2015 to 2022, Russians participated in international competitions in neutral status and with a special quota from the International Athletics Federation. Athletics.
