The head coach Russian national team synchronized swimming Tatiana Pokrovskaya on , she said Russian synchronized swimmers were in excellent shape ahead of the start of the BRICS Games in Kazan.
The synchronized swimming competitions at the BRICS Games will be held from June 13 to 15 and 11 sets of awards will be awarded.
— What is the condition of the athletes before the start of the tournament?
– Combat conditions. Do we have strong competitors? We always tell athletes that you have to fight against yourself first, perform for yourself and for us, the coaches, and we will evaluate the result. It doesn’t matter whether the leading countries are present or not, you still need to look good.
— Is there anything specially prepared for the BRICS Games?
— There are new programs, and there are those whose premieres have already taken place. However, the rules are new and many things have changed, much to the disappointment of coaches and managers. We can no longer run wild with our imagination, it’s very offensive. I think the rules will change and we will go back to how we were before. It’s not for nothing that we are called artistic. We are artistic, but we have become in sync. We were very artistic, great importance was attached to our compositional performance, and now sync and sync…
— If we talk about the BRICS Games in the synchronized swimming calendar, how important is this start, given that there are no international competitions currently?
— International competitions are now very important for us, because there are no competitions that we are currently preparing for. You understand what kind of start I’m talking about (Olympic Games – approximately). The BRICS Games are very revealing: they will demonstrate the form in which Russian synchronized swimmers are. Let the whole world see that we are in great shape. Even if the coaches are never in great shape, we are always missing something. Good for us! “We are with you and you are with us,” Pokrovskaya said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on the channel.
