POSITIVE YEAR
She considered 2019 to be a successful year after a period of stagnation. "I consider the results this year to be positive, because I felt like I began to wake up after a long sleep. After the [2016] Olympics, I fell asleep in my sports career. There were positive results from time to time, but not to the extent that I would like. Now we have seriously changed my technique, and finally began to rise again. I think that the coach and I did a good job this year. The main thing is to strive to improve my results."
