"Victoria Komova: "I came back for the Olympics in
Rio"
Two-time silver medalist at the 2012 Olympic Victoria Komova
made it clear that it is ready to perform at the World Cup this year. The
tournament will be held from 3 to 12 October in Nanning China. Athlete due to
injury missed the 2014 World Cup and European Championships, 2013 and 2014.
We are happy Komova is looking forward to Rio. Hope
she will be able to competes at worlds.
“ My operation was on April 30th in Germany. After returning to Moscow, I immediately came
to the gym, began to swing on bars, and to prepare myself for work. Now, my work is well underway. However, I only
began work on the beam yesterday - before that, it was impossible. I'm a little
bit worried about the ankle, but it's nothing compared to what it was. I am
very glad that I can train.
- I will participate in the Russia Cup, but only on bars;
the other apparatus are not ready - I was only able to begin tumbling
yesterday. For Worlds, the rule is that
you have to do at least two pieces to qualify to the team. If I can prepare a beam routine, I will
go. But if I don't have time I will
simply train to recover all four pieces, and won't go to China. I am hoping for the best - I have never been
to China.
- I would like to go to Rio and accomplish some more of my
goals. I'm pleased with my silver medal
from London. I hope to compete all around in Rio - this is what I have prepared
for from childhood.”
