“Since yesterday, when it started raining, the pain in my leg has gotten worse. I applied ice, took painkillers and felt better. I was sure that 1.87 m with the first would give the final. I’ve been waiting for this for years. The most difficult and at the same time the best year in my sports career. I start to think that I work better when I’m in pain. I’m very happy. In the final I want to get over 1.90m and get in a good position. I’m happy to be in the final company with Vukovic. During the match we supported each other. I did the same with Elisabeth (Pesiridoux) when she entered the relay field. He anxiously asked where I was, ”Tatyana Gushina said after qualifying.

“I was lucky that the race stopped at 1.87 m, and it didn’t go higher, not because I couldn’t pass it, but because in fact the load on the leg would be too great,” the Greek concluded. sportsman.
