As the website of the All-Russian Union of Federal Service of Papers underlines, referring to the press service of the yacht club "Seven Feet", this is the highest result achieved by Russian athletes in this form, and it belongs to an athlete from Vladivostok.
February 12, Anton Didenko returned to Vladivostok. At the airport, he was met by his father, wife and daughter, the management of the “Seven Feet” yacht club, yachtsmen, and media representatives.
– There were a lot of training camps in Primorye and in Europe. And it gave the result – said Anton Didenko. – My main competitor was an Estonian athlete. In Estonia there is a very strong bob school, this sport is being purposefully developed in the country. At the European Championships among adults, this athlete took the 6th place in the gold fleet. This is 30 positions ahead of me. I took third place in the silver fleet. That is, he is a very serious contender, even for adult participants.
The main conditions for success: training and materiel. True, the materiel was rented, I drove only sails and skates, but it ideally suited the conditions.
As for the weather conditions in the village of Semyanuvka, where the regatta was taking place, it is much warmer there than in Vladivostok: in the morning the ice grappled a little and turned to porridge at lunchtime. Snow was almost every day, so the organizers for a long time could not find a body of water for competition. In the end, after a long search, we chose a lake near the village of Semianowka.
For me, this competition in a sports career is the most serious. My junior age is over, I am 23 years old, and next year I plan to participate in adult competitions, at the European and World Championships, which usually take place in America. The task is to get into the top five.
