General Interest

General
KEIRIN VS SPRINT
She says she prefers the keirin event to sprint races, because in keirin there are multiple opponents and she finds this easier than competing against a single opponent in sprint events. "I like keirin, it's a mysterious event in which you need to consider the big picture and understand what to do tactically. It's actually easier for me to cope with five rivals in keirin than when I am racing one on one in sprint events. It's a psychological thing, I've never liked sprint events since childhood. It's a discipline that I never really got the 'feeling' for, even though I won gold in sprint at the [2018] European Championships." (rg.ru, 23 Apr 2019; matchtv.ru, 29 Jan 2019)
