– No, there were no plans to set a record for Ukraine, they were just practice starts. I didn’t expect much to run like that either, it’s 0.41 faster than my personal time. And in general, I did not run with 41.0 during the season. So it was unexpected.
– What is this record for you? A special achievement? Any milestone in your career?
– Well, I wouldn’t say that this is a special achievement, I just started to believe in myself more, understand that I can do more, it gives me strong motivation and self-confidence for the next starts and trainings.
– What are your future plans and goals for this season? In terms of competitions, results, maybe new records.
– I would like to devote the remaining part of the season to more difficult training, to work on weaknesses, to finalize technical and strength problems, to plan not to stop and set records further. My coaches are very supportive of such a decision and are already developing an individual plan, there will be more than one competition, but almost all of them will be training this season.
– Will you go to the third stage of the neo-senior World Cup?
– I don’t know yet, this decision will be made by my head coach, if he considers it necessary, then yes.
