“In a sense, this has become a problem for us. I had already planned in detail how to bring the group to the Games, so there was a stupor, a misunderstanding, even to some extent fear. The same Svetlana Romashina returned to the pool after the birth of a child for the sake of the Games, as Sasha Patskevich and Alla Shishkina returned for a very specific term, ”said Pokrovskaya RT.
The coach noted that all of her athletes expressed a desire to continue training for another year.
“Now all of them need to tighten all their belts and straps for another year and begin to prepare for the next season. It's not so easy. Therefore, before starting to work, I talked with everyone. I asked to decide on the shore whether they could survive this year. All answered the same way: that they returned for the Olympics and are not going to give up this chance. May God give you health and more strength now, ”Pokrovskaya added.
Previously, she spoke about the first training of synchronized women after quarantine.
