Voinova on the first big departure after maternity leave: “It’s already something that resembles me”

Olympic medalist in track cycling Anastasia Voinova She said she was generally satisfied with the first day of the Tula Grand Prix, which was her first big start after the birth of her child.

Voinova with Natalia Antonova and Polina Vashchenko became third in the team sprint on the opening day of the Tula Grand Prix.

— Overall, I am satisfied with my first day of competition. Of course, we planned to go to the final for first place. But something didn’t go as planned in the first race. I’m happy with the seconds on my second lap. This is already something similar to Anastasia Voinova. And to be honest, before departure, I even felt slight jitters. Because I haven’t been in racing mode for a long time. And therefore, I did not know what I would feel behind the acceleration of Natasha Antonova, how I would cover my distance in time. I didn’t even know if my coach Vladimir Khozov and I had decided to set the correct gear ratio. Due to this lack of understanding of his complete condition and form, there was a slight nervousness. Now I wonder what I will look like with this form that I have already managed to acquire in sprinting and keirin,” Voinova told .
