2012 Olympic high jump champion Anna Chicherova reacted to the silver medalist’s first victory at the World Cup – 2017 Danila Lyssenko after disqualification.
Lyssenko took first place in the Cup of the Sverdlovsk region, the 25-year-old athlete showed a result of 2.31 m. Lyssenko was disqualified in the summer of 2018 for missing three doping tests. His suspension expired in early August.
– 2.31 m is a very good result. We can only be happy for Daniel. After a long break, anything could be expected from the athlete. But, apparently, his talent and ease did not disappear during this time, the result speaks for itself. I think Ilya Ivanyuk will now have a good company in the country to compete not only with himself and his height. Lyssenko’s return is very good for the competition, and in the near future we will see a great full-scale fight, including in the upcoming winter season, RT quotes Chicherova.
Russian athletics has been under sanctions since 2015 over doping scandals. In July, the World Athletics Association approved 18 applications from Russian athletes for neutral status.
