Ruslan Ternovoy: “Money rewards are a huge incentive, but for me the interest in sports is higher”

Medalist at the European Diving Championships Ruslan Ternovoi told that he was thinking about prize money, but sporting interest in competitions is even higher for him.

Ternova won the Russian synchronized diving championship this season with Alexandre Bondar .

— They’re trying to diversify the schedule for you, but don’t you have the impression that every departure is like Groundhog Day, with the same participants?

— Honestly, there is competition and it’s interesting to jump. And we are only satisfied with what the competition does for us. Additionally, the prize money is also a huge incentive. Before, before I turned 18, I thought less about prize money, but now that I support myself, I have to think about it. But my interest in sport goes beyond the question of money. I value victories more than prize money. Especially if at the same time I remain satisfied with my jumps,” Ternovoi told .
