Pole vaulter Polina Knoroz after winning “Jumping Day” as part of Athletics Week, she said she was absolutely delighted with her performance at Gorky Park.
On Sunday, Knoroz won Jump Day by clearing the bar at a height of 4.73 meters, repeating his best result of the season. Aksana Gataullina (4.55) took second place, Tatyana Kalinina (4.45) took third place. Initially, Jumping Day was planned near the Bolshoi Theater.
— Tell us about the fireworks episode during your attempt.
“I didn’t even notice it, I didn’t hear it, I didn’t see it.” When I landed, I turned around and saw all these fireworks. I think, “Wow! » But that didn’t stop me. On the contrary, it turned out very cool. How did they guess I would jump that high?
— Would it be cooler if the best result of your career was repeated?
– Yes, but that’s good too.
— 4.75 didn’t want to try it?
“I wanted to, but there is no point wasting extra energy, because there is an important start ahead: the BRICS Games.” You must try to use it to save yourself.
— Do you regret not jumping near the Bolshoi Theater today, as originally planned?
“At first I regretted it, but I didn’t know what it would be like in Gorky Park. Seeing what’s happening here, this atmosphere, I’m absolutely delighted! Incredible start, incredible organization, incredible audience, incredible location! It’s just something with something! I really had a blast today. It’s one of the best starts I’ve had in Russia.
— It turns out that we should hold competitions more often in busy places, near attractions?
– Yes! Sights, city center, day off – everything coincided! There are a lot of people, the public is active and interacts with us. I asked for applause, everyone shouted at me: “Come on, Polina!” Everything is very cool!
— Yes, and today’s athletes have more artistic talent, emotions and good results.
— Because we all understand that it’s a show, a vacation. We also want to have fun and not impose any kind of framework on ourselves. We tried to make the show as good as possible,” reports correspondent Knoroz.
