best Komova interview yet

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics posted a translation of an interview by Vladimir Ivanov:

– You came back after a succession of injuries – because you are inspired by the thought of yet another Olympics?

– Not only. I’m also inspired by the thought of going to Baku.

– What was the most difficult moment during these three years?

– Each of the injuries. After the last one I thought: there is always something happening – it never ends – I’m finished with the sport. But then I realized that for me exercise is like a drug. There is nothing to do but go to the gym. I think I will not be able to give it up until I die.

– What result in Baku will be enough for your self-satisfaction?

– Gold Medal.

– So soon? In the all-around?

– Yes Yes. Probably, I will fight it out with Aliya.

– Elfimov said that you do not need to set new programmes, but just re-establish all the London ones.

– Yes. Although we do have something to add. While I will not say what it is, I hope to show new elements and connections in Baku.
