She said that her injury also affected the result:
"I won a silver medal at the III CIS Games. I regret not being able to win a gold medal. Reaching the final is a big deal in itself. I was close to winning a gold medal. I made technical mistakes, and there was also a lack of physical condition. I was injured in the 1/4 final. This also had an impact. Although my Russian opponent was very strong, I was not behind her. Unfortunately, I lost. I hope I will achieve a higher achievement next time.
