“I won the lion’s den “- so John Szymanski (AZS AWF Poznań) commented victory on 1500m World Cup in Heerenveen. This is the second consecutive triumph Polish speed skater on this distance, previously was the best week ago in Berlin.
“Winning in the mouth of a lion in the Netherlands … Priceless” – such an entry posted on a social network you soon after winning. This success tastes much better than in Germany?
John Szymanski: Both have enjoyed immensely, because this season, my best place for this distance was seventh. But of course, the Netherlands is the mecca of speed skating, and victory here can be likened to win a football match with Germany or Spain in their fields. I won the lion’s mouth!
Dutch fans could appreciate him win their pets?
The Dutch are a specific nation, also rejoice when triumphant athlete from another country . Just know much about this sport and appreciate their efforts in preparation. During the Olympic Games in Sochi were quite bored with consecutive wins of his countrymen, although they felt hungry after a great race at 1500 m, in which Koen Verweij Zbyszko defeated beard. On Saturday, the hosts dominated the competition in Heerenveen at 5000 m, today we were better than we Poles. Every day there are more and mightier Konrad Niedźwiedzki and Chin. But the Dutch fans know also that such failures will positively motivate their favorites.
You competed in the penultimate pair of Canadian Denny Morrison, former world champion at 1,500 meters. It was a good sign?
Yes, I enjoyed the rivalry with Morrison. It was a world record that much faster than me + open + gear. Always at the beginning of the gap has excellent times at + + also pulls the player moving with him. I was able to catch it already at 300 meters, and also finished on the preferred small bend. I felt that there is a chance for a good outcome. I wanted to improve by half a second compared to Berlin, and in the meantime I broke + + nearly a full second, reaching 1.45,92.
The lap before the end of starting in the last talon ahead of Dutchman Kjeld Nuis Mr. up to 0.7 seconds. It seemed that not lose conduct.
When its run ended NUIS, I asked coach (Wieslaw Kmiecik – PAP), I had the last time round. 28.0 In response, heard and then I was sure that I win. Dutch rider less runs the last lap. This time was 29.4.
After winning in Berlin you measure the podium again and silently counted the first place?
I would be happy with each item in the “top three”, and even with those between four and six. The competition is very tight. I again went great run.
Monday a little rest and a return to heavy training?
I’m going on the academic world championships to Kazakhstan. Decide on the spot where the distances go, but probably in 1000 and 1500 m. Already I am delighted at the idea of the start at the legendary track in Almaty. There is rarely the competition takes place, and I have not yet had the opportunity to compete in this city. It is located at an altitude of approx. 1700 meters above sea level, between the mountains and makes a big impression. Polish back to just before Christmas, and at the end of the year even national championship.
Soon time for Christmas gifts. What awards have you received from the World Federation for winning the World Cup?
The premium is $ 1,500. Unfortunately, our relationship does not provide bonuses for such success. Perhaps there will be new sponsors and we will get bonuses for such achievements. And I’m your earned money invest in equipment. Winning in Berlin made that drew me to the expense of buying grindstones, and now I decided to purchase a new wheel to the bike, which I often use in preparation for the season.
