Olympic silver medalist in the pole vault Angelique Sidorova said she was unhappy with the season, despite the high results.
On Thursday, Sidorova won the All-Russian Sports Contest for the Strongest with a score of 4.70m.
“I wanted to jump higher, but I can’t fight the hurricane. I was ready for a better result. At 4.85m for sure. Unfortunately it didn’t work out today.
Are you satisfied with the season? Are you kidding? How can I be satisfied with a season if there hasn’t been one? I am satisfied with my result, but not with the season. And after? No idea. Now I’m going on vacation, and then – I don’t know. Will I compete in the winter season? I am not ready to answer these questions,” Sidorova told reporters.
Sidorova owns the best result of this season in the world. At the beginning of August, the 31-year-old athlete won the Russian championship, breaking the bar at a height of 4.91 m.
In March, the World Athletics Association (World Athletics) banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in international competitions. The All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA) has been temporarily deprived of World Athletics membership since 2015 due to several doping scandals.
