– Do you have any plans to try yourself in a higher weight in the future?
– I still feel comfortable at 57 kg. I have many goals in this weight. But if my body and results allow in the future, I would like to try myself in a higher weight.
– What qualities are you trying to develop to become stronger?
– With daily training, I increase both my strength and speed. I work hard to be more resilient. Most importantly, I am preparing myself psychologically for the competition.
– Do you see yourself at the Olympic Games in 3 years?
– Yes, this is one of my biggest goals, like every athlete. I am preparing very hard to get there. I believe that I will see the reward for my efforts on the Olympic carpet.
