Russian athletes’ flash interviews
06.03.2009
Antonina Krivoshapka
400m Women Round 1 Heat 3 (4)
My running was light and I feel in very good shape. The oval in Torino is very good for me and I am focusing on achieving gold medal now.
Yevgeniy Borisov
60m Hurdles Men Round 1 Heat 3
I felt very sleepy before the race. Now I feel stronger. Hopefully I will run stronger in the semifinals. My mission is to win these championships
60m Hurdles Men Semifinal 1
My target was to run this semifinal clearly. However, I hit the 5th hurdle so the final time was not that good. I hope I will improve it in the final. My mission is to win this European title this year because I think I am in very good shape.
Natalya Antyukh
400m Women Semifinal 2 (2)
What can I say, it was just normal race. I ran easily and it continued very smoothly. I am not sure how the final will go on. It will be a surprise.
Anna Alminova
1500m Women Round 1 Heat 2
I started fast but in the middle of the race I realised it is enough to stay on the leading position, so I started to run little bit slowlier. I cannot be confident about my placement in the final because I have 3000m semi finals tomorrow morning. So I really do not know what to expect after that in the final of 1500m, it will be difficult. Last 2 weeks after Russian championships I spent with my family and in training process.
Yuriy Borzakovskiy
800m Men Round 1 Heat 4
The race was ok. I did exactly what my coach had told me: wait until the last 200m and then accelerate and move to the first place.
Anna Bogdanova
Pentathlon Women Final
I felt very well but there was no time to relax even a bit during the competition. One event followed another quickly and it was very tiring. I was preparing myself for this season very seriously, I did not want to skip the indoor season. Long jump brought very hard time for me at the beginning because firts attempt was not good enought - I jumped off long before the board. But then I concentrated myself and it was better. 800m was very hard too, I do not know the time I ran but I am first and that is the most important. I am the winner and finished healthy, what else can I wish.
