— In the Olympic final, in the championship tiebreaker, there is a game of nerves and experience. The girls were a little rushed, they lost the beginning of the second set – they got angry and let the game play out. It was a game of nerves. Sarah and Jasmine ended up being a little stronger. There was a bit of everything missing, that’s sport. The winner is the one with two goals more in the championship tiebreaker.
This season is definitely successful for the girls. Diana and Mirra have won new titles during their careers. Everyone is moving forward with confidence. This is a positive result for them, they had an excellent tournament,” Selivanenko told .
