“Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to prepare for a perfect bout in recent months as I suffered a thigh-like muscle sprain at a training camp last October and the injury eventually turned out to be more severe than expected. This is a particularly annoying injury, it only heals slowly. For this reason, I could not wrestle at all for about two months, and could not even run.During this time, I was mostly strengthening in the gym, while of course going with the injury for several treatments.However, after a two-month hiatus, I still My thighs hurt – obviously, not as much as before, but unfortunately I felt minimal.

“The race went smoothly, and the main question was really whether to start, whether it was worth the loss to seventy-three pounds among the cadets, or to start this year to focus more on the seventy-six-pound junior field. In the end, I lost weight. I had to lose five pounds and get the mandatory win very smoothly my longest match can last about half a minute and for me this was a choice mostly to get out of the monotony of my workouts a bit.But overall I’m still not sure of my goal main this year Happy Veronica. – I would like to start in the junior team already, and I feel that I will have a chance to win the national team, that is, to participate in global competitions among the seniors as well. However, in my age group, as a final year student, I can still do great things this year. The bronze medal in last year’s World Cup and fifth place in the World Cup provided a valuable experience in all respects. I know my body better now, when I need it, how can we better define my level, so again, I have a good chance of winning a medal, at least, but even for gold in both the European Championships and the World Cup. “

Most of the time I work with fixed grip elements, I am the strongest in it, but Ed and I focus on The clean free fist technique is with us and I can really feel the progress in it.We’ve fixed some small bugs and as a result, I’m getting more attacks.I’m already doing these new items with confidence in training but so far I haven’t been able to transfer them to the competition yet.Overall I’m so glad Ed joined us, and we can only learn from him.”
