What was most important today? Victory or result?
“Today it was more important for me to win.
“Because of the prize money?”
– Not only. Of course, many problems would be solved thanks to them. Therefore, today I was tuned to win, but I would like the result to be better.
– When you set the bar at 2.35, did you want to achieve the best result of the season in Russia?
Yes I did it. It felt like it was hard. There were no close attempts at 2.35. But, in general, I’m happy.
– It seemed that today you weren’t as comfortable as at the Kuts memorial?
– No, just today there was a robbery, but if something went wrong – I could not in any way perceive the end. I started running in a few jumps, although I shouldn’t.
Maybe it’s the cover? The decathletes complained that the track was hard, hitting the calves.
– Maybe.
– At Kuts Memorial you took 2.34 but then stopped. Do you have the impression that at this point you could reach 2.37, for example?
– At this beginning, you could add a few more centimeters, but I didn’t see the point. If you rewind, I wouldn’t change a thing – I would have done the exact same thing.
“Now the season is over. What are the plans? Will he rest or win student departures?
– Recently I was invited to the start in Samara, which will take place on September 11, but I do not know yet whether I will go there or not.
– How long do you plan to rest?
– To be honest, I am ready not to rest and continue training. I’m not going anywhere. Maybe I’ll go to my parents in Birsk. In any case, I plan to keep in shape so as not to sit without training.
Are you planning for the winter season?
– Sure! All possible starts are in the plans.
– What will be more important there – victories or results?
– Both.
– What heights do you focus on now in training? Do you want to restore previous results faster or do you not force it?
– Little by little we are going there. We don’t set specific goals for results, as I jump in, it turns out.
