Rivalry Danila Lyssenko and Ilya Ivanyuk will lead to improved results for both high jumpers, Olympic champion told Anna Chicherova .
Lysenko took first place in the Cup of the Sverdlovsk region, the 25-year-old athlete showed a result of 2.31 m, and Ivanyuk, who took second place, 2.28 m Lysenko was disqualified at summer 2018 for situations where three doping tests were missing. His suspension expired in early August.
– This is a very good result for a person who has not practiced competition for a long time. And, of course, it’s a good situation for intra-team competition. In the near future we will have the pleasure of seeing a great fight at a high level. Although Ilya Ivanyuk is already doing well with motivation, it will be even more interesting for him to progress in his results in competition with Lysenko. Something interesting and meaningful always arises in rivalry. There is also Misha Akimenko, but he is still injured.
Ilya and without Danila showed the best result of the season in the world. But when there is sports excitement, wrestling is always much more interesting and the results are much higher,” Chicherova told .
Lyssenko is the 2017 World Championships silver medalist, the 2018 World Indoor Champion.
