Two-time Russian high jump champion Danil Lysenko said that the choice of the song “Mother” for the performance at the “New Heights” tournament in Moscow during the Olympic Games in France became symbolic for him.
Lysenko won the new show jumping tournament “New Height” in Moscow with a score of 2.31 meters. The athlete performed the song “Mother” performed by Tatyana Kurtukova.
— Was the choice of music made for the show or for yourself?
– For me and for the show. My wife chose the song; I knew the fans would appreciate it. The Olympics are underway, it’s even a bit symbolic to perform on this track here [в Москве]. Of course, I expected to show better results, but it happened like this.
— What stopped you from jumping higher?
– I didn’t understand it myself. I spoke to the coach earlier, these are my best jumps of the season.
— Maybe the coating bothered you?
– Don’t think. I always jump well on this surface at Battle of the Sexes. I expected a slightly better result. “I will watch the recording and draw conclusions,” the correspondent reports, based on Lysenko’s words.
Russian track and field athletes will miss the Paris Olympics. A total of 15 Russians have been allowed to compete in the French capital in five sports, in a neutral status.
