Fitsiou/Anastasiadou: “We wanted to make a faster race”

OR Sixth place in the final of the double skip to World Rowing Championship of Shanghai did not satisfy the Zoe Fitsiou and Evangelia Anastasiadouhowever, they think they will get stronger than this test.

“It’s definitely a big step, a new category. We have shown in previous events that we can stand even though we are more mirkosome and light compared to other athletes. We set the target for this boat very high, we worked a lot throughout the summer and the frustration comes more than we wanted to make a faster race and make a competitive closure in this cycle. And that is in the game good or bad. Now the issue is the management of this fact, that is, if we will make it an asset rather than something that will throw us“, They emphasized.

“It’s the … step for our next goal. Although we didn’t feel as we should, the boat and how we should go, we managed to get into the world’s final. We hope we will become better. We have proven that we can make a faster race, but it doesn’t always come out. It is not our best time, but there is also continuity“, They added.

As for how did they live the final? “Before we got into the final we said that we don’t care about the result. Whether we went out first or last for us it was the same. We wanted to thank the race until the last paddle, every meter. This is what matters. To live the race. Until then we are waiting for this race to come, to which we will get out … Whatever we really have”
