Pole vault All-Russian Spartakiad silver medalist Polina Knoroz commented on her result in an interview with .
At the Spartakiad athletics tournament held in Chelyabinsk, Knoroz became second in the pole vault with a score of 4.65 meters. One wonNzhelika Sidorova who crossed the bar at about 4.70 m. Third place was taken by Elizaveta Bondarenko with a score of 4.45m.
— I did not expect to show such a good result at this stage. Although in general I think 4.65 is very small. For Russia, this may be normal, but for the international scene – nothing. But, given all the circumstances that have surrounded me lately, I’m happy to have jumped so much and I’m happy with the second place finish.
– That is to say that the reference for you is the results in international competitions?
– Sure! Why should I keep the Russian level in mind? In Russia, nobody jumps.
– Angelica Sidorova jumps.
– That’s all. Of course, I watch her. Only she jumps five meters and I jump 4.65 – a big difference.
What does it take to jump like Angelica?
“I think I need to get older and gain experience. Physically I’m strong, but I’m not ready to jump five meters with my head. I understand that very well. Here at 4:80 I am ready. Therefore, I was very upset that I hadn’t jumped so much at the Russian Championship.
