"This year, the Russian Championship became the main qualifying event for the European Championship. The team did a lot of work before the start, there were tense finals, and the athletes showed beautiful dives. Of course, the main sensation of the championship was our young talents Alexandra Kedrina and Miroslav Kiselev, who managed to win in the individual dives from the 10-meter platform. Excellent results were also shown by Nadezhda Trifonova, Victoria Kazantseva, and Anastasia Chistyakova. We see that juniors are already getting involved in the fight for the podium, and that we have a strong reserve in our team," he added.
