Medalist at the World Speed Skating Championships Daria Kachanova told that despite the difficult recovery from injury, she had set maximum goals for this season.
Kachanova missed most of last season with an Achilles injury. At the Russian Championships in Irkutsk, the 26-year-old athlete won victories at distances of 500, 1000 and 1500 meters.
– Dasha, after a serious injury – three gold medals. Have you ever said to yourself, “Dasha is awesome”?
– I can’t congratulate myself. I will point out the errors first, there is always something to work on.
“But the recovery was difficult…
— Yes, it was hard, very hard, but I set myself as many goals as possible. Now our highest goal is to win the Russian Championship, for some, to win the Spartakiad.
– You?
— After all, it’s the Russian championship.
— Isn’t gold at “one and a half” the first of your career? Did you think you would be able to win this season?
— Yes, it’s my first gold medal in the 1500m. Initially, before the season, I set myself the goal of running “one and a half”, including at the Russian Championships. But now I acted more according to the situation; I didn’t clearly understand how this could happen. Furthermore, the 1000m was not easy and it was clear that it certainly would not be easy for the truck. But after seeing the results, and running in the last pair, I realized I could fight. In the “one and a half” race, we no longer have a clear leader, capable of winning with a big advantage. And let’s be honest, my result is not high, ”Kachanova told .
