“I don’t remember winning like that before. Perhaps this happened for the first time. And that was a little unusual. I was already going to fight at 2.06, I thought that it was not all over yet, that it was still unknown what to expect, and was attuned to the fight. And suddenly they shout to me that everything, I got a little jerked, ”- quotes Lasickene TASS.
She noted that she would hardly have refused to continue the fight as her rival, 18-year-old Ukrainian Yaroslav Maguchih, who took 2.04 meters on the third attempt, and then refused to jump 2.06 meters.
“My training is built on jumping as often as possible. But this is not my business, they have their own vision, ”the Russian woman added.
The 26-year-old athlete became the first three-time world champion in history, winning gold at the world championship in Doha. Previously, she won in 2015 and 2017.
Previously, Lasickene said that with every tournament it’s becoming more difficult for her to play in a neutral status.
