Athletistic / Athletics. Russian Olympic champion Maria Lasitskene has said she could win the Olympics twice if she is allowed to compete in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
“I will not compare the results, it is useless now. However, in 2016, when we missed the Olympics, everything was different. At that time, I knew that my two meters was the best result of the season in the world, and if I had gone to Rio de Janeiro with this result, then everything would have been different. But then there was a different situation, different thoughts, no one understood what would happen and how it would happen.
Now the time is completely different, the results are different, so there is no need to compare anything. I do not want to waste my energy and mood on this. I just want to go to competitions, jump, show what I am capable of today, “TASS reports Lasitskene’s words.
- See it for yourself. Russia has announced a boycott of the Paris Olympics.
All Russian athletes, except for Daria Klishina, were not allowed to participate in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro due to a doping scandal with the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF). As a result, Spaniard Ruth Beitia won the 2016 Olympic Games in the women’s high jump. Her winning result was 1.97 meters. It is noteworthy that Lasitskene, a month before the Games in Brazil, managed to overcome the bar set at 2 meters in height.
