— The best emotions. 500 m is our best distance, we are the champions of this year among elite athletes, and today we confirmed our status. In the morning we got up with mingled feelings, we had a wish to start and the excitement, but the aspiration to show a good result prevailed. We compete at home and there are so many fans. Of course, we would like to show high results. Today till the end of the distance we were thinking about the race, not about the medals. Only after the finish line we recognized that we have won. There were strong opponents at our distance, each pretended to the medal.

— The Regatta Course in Zaslavl corresponds to all criteria for holding such major competitions. We have already seen the teams of Hungary, Russia, Germany, Belarus spurted into the leaders. They are at the leading roles, but I like that even “small” counties have come to the final and have had the possibility to fight for the medals.
