At present, the best Latvian javelin broadcast does not unequivocally evaluate the season affected by the coronavirus, emphasizing both positive and negative aspects.

“The lack of big matches is never good for an athlete,” says the athlete. “The Latvian Olympic team can provide basic needs, but the Diamond League competitions and the big championships are extra financially. On the other hand, I have another year to work on my weaknesses, strengthening the knee and throw technical performance, which is very important in javelin throwing. If I did a good job this year, I should have no problem competing with the best in the world next year.

“Preparations until March were subordinate to the Olympics. After the virus was triggered, I had to return home much sooner than planned, and most of the gap was cut in technical performance, because we didn’t see Zigismund Sirmo coach Kimmo Kinnunen for three months,” he said. “He was in Finland, and the road there was really difficult. We didn’t want to spend 14 days there to stay with the coach for two months. So we decided to train in Latvia and he sends us plans. It was the longest absence in the five years of our cooperation.”

The muse says that the gap in the technical performance is felt when the race resumes.

“Then I could see how many technical problems I have. However, with each match, I” got in “more and more, and the result grew with what was achieved in Kuortane. The coach also said that it was getting better. If there are no health problems, the technical performance will improve. and this year we also have to think about a personal record. “

“There was an interesting fight. As one threw on, the competitors did the same,” she recalls. “There was a fierce fight. Unfortunately, I was haunted by minor health problems, my back was sitting down. Therefore, my start in Jelgava may not have taken place.”
–
“Warming up, it seemed that I would not start, but wanted to fight for the title of Latvian champion. The achieved 60 meters was enough this time, and after the race there was a huge feeling of relief for the past day, but last week I will soon forget, because due to health problems I can’t enjoy the race, “says the athlete.

Kinnunen also came to the Latvian championship last weekend.
–
“He had arrived for four days to see me and Zigismundu metam. He saw my back, 60 meters away from me and was not very happy. Usually he is not happy at all,” Muse smiles. “He wasn’t happy about 62 meters in Kuortan either, but this time he gave me a bottle and said, ‘Malacis!’

Already on Friday, as part of his Latvian team, he will start in Ogre in the President’s Cup, competing not only with the strongest javelin throwers from Latvia, but also from Lithuania and Estonia. Then the back will no longer be a nuisance.

“I definitely want to win,” says the javelin thrower about the upcoming launch. “It will be necessary to throw over 60 meters, maybe even further, because, looking at the results, both Lithuanians and Madara Palameika and Anete Kociņa can easily throw over 60 meters, if everything is technically successful. So I am ready to throw close to my season record, if not further. “

“After that, the Challenge series matches organized by the World Athletics Association take place in Zagreb, then in Prague, then in Sweden. These are three countries that have women javelin throwing, but they are dangerous enough not to attend. Life will show if I take part in these matches. . “
