Russian short tracker Denis Hayrapetian says that the high level of competition at the internal level helps to maintain motivation.
The Russian short track opened the season with the first round of the Russian Cup.
– The mood is sporty, the state of the body is working. We went through the whole summer training, ran a start and I can say that there is a lot of competition in Russia, comparable to international competition. There are a lot of young guys, the team is updated, the guys come out during the same seconds in which we compete. You have to work hard enough to move on to the next stages of the competition. The motivation due to this increases even more, and for now we are in standby mode. We are looking forward to international competitions,” Hayrapetyan told a press conference at ‘s press center.
We have a more tactical sport than speed skating, and the feeling of competition is very important. But we have quite a few. Also, as I said, there are a lot of young athletes already competing. The main thing is to have competition. She is. And we will not lose the feeling of competition.
Hayrapetyan, 25, is the 2020 European relay champion. He has been playing for the Russian national team since 2017.
