Head Coach of the Russian National Synchronized Swimming Team Tatiana Pokrovskaya on the air of the studio channel “” enjoyed the “Friendship Games” in Kazan.
– Such competitions are interesting, such a rich program! I was confident in our duets, although Tatyana Danchenko was worried – competitions are competitions. Moreover, the girls were sick, and earlier Svetlana Kolesnichenko performed in a duet with Svetlana Romashina, Pokrovskaya told the studio.
– Vlada Chigireva and Svetlana Romashina were worried about the free program of the new group.
– Well, it’s their program, the winning program. The girls weren’t supposed to mess up and they didn’t mess it up… I’m rarely satisfied with the results, my maximalism, maybe it overshoots sometimes, but I can’t help it. The dumb trait of all maximalists is to see something transcendental: “well, no, no”, but the viewer likes that. Our coaches are maximalists. These coaches who drive our sport are all a little crazy. Such maximalism is like a distorting mirror,” the coach said.
Pokrovskaya also enjoyed the premiere of Alexander Maltsev’s free program.
– Sasha grew a lot thanks to Gana Maximova. Now he’s not just an athlete, he can reveal the image. If the solo isn’t loud, it’s boring to watch. But Sasha amazed me at these competitions. They created such a program, so they convey the image to the viewer,” she added.
Friendship games are held these days in Kazan. After the swimming competition, the synchronized swimming tournament began.
