她因一个优雅动作在中国走红,却在夺冠后让人看到了运动员的强大内心
Three-time world champion high jumper Maria Lasitskene shined in her Olympic debut on Saturday, winning a gold medal in the high jump final at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.
The Russian broke down on sealing the title, dropping to her knees on the Tokyo track and bursting into tears.
This marked the Russian Olympic Committee’s first gold in track and field events at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
拉西茨科尼在谈到自己的比赛时说:“我什么都不记得了,大脑里一片模糊。有个声音说,你一直犯错误,你没有权利来到这里?你怎么可以在这里?”
Lasitskene summed up the pressure when she said of her own competition: “I don’t remember anything at all. There is a fog on my mind, a real fog. You are making mistakes, you are telling yourself you don’t have the right to be here. How are you even here?
“But then you go on and continue jumping. You try to line up with your plans. You feel greed. You tell yourself I won’t give it up, I don’t want to, I can, I must.”
She added: “There must be nerves. There must be fear. I was deadly afraid. At some moments I was shaking, at some moments it felt like my arms were falling off – and then my head started spinning.”
“It was a real horror. I can’t imagine how my parents were watching this. I can’t imagine how Vladas (her husband and TV commentator) was commentating on it. I don’t know what happened. But maybe all those challenges were thrown at me so that I could overcome them.”
“I was not reading anything this week while I was here,” she said. “I did not watch anything. I only talked to people who I knew would not pressure me. I already understood what a responsibility lay on my shoulders, so I put all my effort into ignoring it.”
所以,对于拉西茨克涅而言,最美的瞬间或许依旧是赛场上那一次次的跳跃。
