🎤 "Plans for August: work, work, and work some more!" — Daniil Marinov on the training camp in Sirius, summer, and preparation for the Russian Championship
❓ How productive was your time at the training camp in Sirius?
"Personally, I viewed this training camp not only as a recovery camp, but also as a preparatory one. My teammates had just recently returned from competitions, and yes, they needed a rest. But I, on the contrary, needed to start working hard, because there wasn't much time left before the Russian Championship. At the training camp in Sirius, I was able to work hard, and at the same time swim in the sea, change the scenery. I'm glad I went with the whole team!"
❓ Did you manage to regain your physical fitness after shoulder surgery?
"More or less, yes. I remembered many elements from my routine. But I still continue to treat and pump up my shoulder, in parallel with getting into shape."
❓ Are you already working on all the apparatus? Are you able to do combinations or full combinations?
“Yes, I work on all the apparatus, but at my own pace. I do a combination on the pommel horse and jump all my jumps on the vault, but on the parallel bars and high bar, I can only do half of the combination for now. There are also elements that cause a sharp pain in the shoulder. It needs to get used to the load again. And on the rings, I’m in the 2nd junior category for now: swing, overfly, twist, dismount (laughs).”
❓ Sirius has great opportunities for sports. How do you like this place? What impressed you most – the sea, the sun, the training base?
“Sirius is a super-sporty city! In addition to the fact that a lot of sports facilities have been built here, people also keep fit every day, jog, ride bikes, do cross-fit outside and much more. We saw this for ourselves when we went to do our exercises with the whole team at 7 a.m. — there was practically no free space. Everything was occupied by people who fully matched the atmosphere of a sports city."
❓ Should the spectators expect you to perform at the Russian Championship?
"I am preparing for the Russian Championship and if I go there, the mood will be more festive than ever! After all, competitions are a holiday for an athlete, for which he prepares in advance. How you prepare for the holiday is how you celebrate it! Therefore, I have set some goals for myself and will try hard to achieve them. To be honest, I don’t know yet which apparatuses I will be able to perform on. Probably, as the cards fall or as my mother says (laughs)."
❓ What are your plans for August?
"My plans for August are to plow, plow and plow again! There is no time to rest. The sea in Sirius was quite enough for me. There are still two training camps ahead at the Ozero Krugloe sports base, and the entire team will meet there again on August 4."
