The correspondent of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" talked with the young star of the championship of the world soon after the official ceremony.  - How do you evaluate your performance? - My performances are not super. But, overall, the program was good - I still have work to do! - I am modest. - If you start explaining the error, you can talk until tomorrow. For it was not the first World Cup. Maybe that's why the emotions at the ceremony were not so high.  - The joy and excitement is there, but not those that were for the first time. In some measure of victory I even got into the habit. But I do not sit back and support the brand. The main thing - do not get sick, to avoid injury and to watch my weight! Gymnasts are required to keep himself in perfect shape. I eat chocolates less than normal people, but to starve yourself, of course, I will not!  - I am too early to meet with the young man. After finishing university, then I'll think about marriage! Although it takes 6-7 hours a day for training and school that I have to deal with externally. Studying in grade 11 and get ready to take the exam. Hopefully, looking worthy! The athlete said that he loved her coach Elena Lvovna Karpushenko - strict but fair. - When it is necessary, to support and cheer my mother when necessary - spur. It is our general manager, we will respect and love very much!  |
