D4 Budapest 2021 – FLASH QUOTES

Artistic Swimming Duet Technical

GOLD Svetlana Romashina, Svetlana Kolesnichenko (RUS) 96.2904

Romashina: “Every medal is great, makes your day great. I could say that I remember all the medals, but I think this medal I’m going to remember more, because of the postponement caused by the problems with underwater speakers. We understand it was nobody’s fault, it is just something that can happen. I think we have to be very happy today, but we need to work more, because there are some little mistakes that we have to fix.”

Kolesnichenko: “My motivation to keep fighting for the gold medals is my partner because she is a mother. While I rest she is at home working, so she is my idol. Everyday I look at her and I admire all that she does. She is so great and so cool, and she is an inspiration for me to work even harder.”

SILVER Anastasia Savchuk, Marta Fiedina (UKR) 92.6862

“I think our performance today was better than on Monday. The whole situation with the music was very strange but we prepared for today. We will try our best to be even better at the Olympics.. This routine is very demanding and difficult, it was created especially for the Olympics. We worked for a very long time on it and tried to put in some creative moves. We are happy with the result.”

BRONZE Elrini Alexandri, Ana-Maria Alexandri (AUT) 89.4592

Erini: “We are very happy to bring medals to Austria since our last podium was a long time ago (in 1987). We are very proud of ourselves, and this medal is a big motivation for the future.”

Anna-Maria: “We fought a lot for this medal and it is a big motivation for the Olympic Qualification which is taking place in a month in Barcelona. We worked really hard for this medal and we got good feedback here in Budapest. So we are really satisfied at this moment!”
