MOSCOW, 31 Aug, Andrey Simonenko. Winner and medalist of the world championships in running in the 110m hurdles, Sergey Shubenkov said that he has worthy rivals in domestic competitions as well. Russian athletes are currently suspended from international competitions. Shubenkov won all domestic competitions last summer season, including the Russian Championship and the Spartakiad. «After we ran this season, I can say that our guys are strangling well from the start. With Artem Makarenko, with Anatoly Kiselev, the goal is to win the first hurdle against them — quite relevant for me. And it doesn’t always work out, but every other time! Here, in Chelyabinsk at the Spartakiad, it turned out, the result could have been decent if I hadn’t fastened barriers in the distance. So there are rivals. Anyway, they run, in something somewhere they help me and create discomfort,» Shubenkov said in an interview. Read the full interview of Sergei Shubenkov on the website rsport.ria.ru.
