General Interest

General
RELAY ADRENALINE
She likes to compete in relays as they boost her personal results. "You have completely different feelings in relay. Apparently, thanks to it I have no desire to experiment, to run other distances. Even if you have some result in the 400m during a season, you have every chance of improving it. Due to adrenaline you get there. I had it in 2018, when I ran in 54 seconds during the season, and in 53 seconds in the relay. It's just such a responsibility, rivals are running nearby, you're catching someone, overtaking and showing the result. Relay always pulls up to a higher level." (glavcom.ua, 17 Feb 2020)
