Russian short track runner Sergei Milovanov told that domestic competition on the Russian scene is increasing, despite the lack of international practice.
Milovanov won the 1,500m at the Russian Cup stage in Saransk on Saturday.
— How was the start of the season? Did you expect to win the 1500m?
— All this season I won prizes in 1500 m, now I managed to win – the guys helped me, I ran to bring up the rear, they slowed down the race. Team tactics.
— Many people say that competition is strong on the Russian national scene. In your opinion, what makes it possible to maintain this level in the absence of an international season?
— Regional teams are strengthened by other athletes, transitions occur, forces are equalized between teams, so the fight is more interesting. And the speed increases.
— What are your priorities for the season?
“This year there are two important starts – the Russian all-around championship, where I became third, and the Spartakiad of the Strongest,” Milovanov told .
