General Secretary of the Azerbaijan Canoe and Rowing Federation Farhad Aliyev interviewed Diana Dymchenko's first performance at the Paris-2024 Summer Olympic Games.
Idman.biz reports, he evaluated the first successful test of Azerbaijani representative.
- Diana placed in the top 3 after a tough fight in the Olympic qualifying round. What can you say about his performance? What are your expectations from the upcoming 1/4 finals?
- Of course, congratulations. There were very strong athletes here. Which they were German and Bulgarian. Diana herself entered the "three". She was trying to. Because if it didn't work, the situation would become even more difficult. She will have two days off as he directly advanced to the quarter finals. This is a great advantage for the athlete. Others will still go to the starting line. We still don't know who she will be competing with on July 30th, it's not confirmed. It will become clear at the end of the day.
- A great burden fell on Azerbaijani athlete. Because she is the only representative of rowing. You probably talked to her after the race. How were their emotions? What did she say about her struggle?
- It was very difficult for the athlete and the federation to do this kind of work for three years. But we got through it. I believe that she will be able to show good results at this stage as well. Today's result was important for us. It's hard to get to the race and come back. Although there was a problem in terms of logistics for the athlete, we solved these issues as a team and there is a result. Today, our athletes try their strength in other sports as well. I wish success to each of them.
