Russia (bbabo.net), - - I didn't expect to see so many people at the airport! - admitted the Olympic medalist.

When asked about the Olympic race, he said that the main difficulty is a huge psychological burden. "We ran with all the money, so to speak, and tried to show the maximum result for the team, for the Motherland, for all of us. It was difficult psychologically, this is a very important stage in the career of any athlete. It cannot be compared with cups, world championships, the Olympic Games - this is the most important thing," Trofimov admitted.

Sergey called the most important rival in the competition ... a stopwatch! "And we managed to overcome it, set an Olympic record!" - shared the athlete. The Olympian will spend the next three or four days at home, and then go to the training camp in Kolomna, after which he will have the World All-Around Championship in the Norwegian city of Hamar.

Sergey's parents are athletes. Together with the first coach Nikolai Ermakov, they managed to discern the makings of a champion in their son. “Everyone tells us: you, the parents, are the main ones in this story, this is your victory! We are very happy and proud of Sergey. A festive dinner awaits him at home - branded meat and salad,” shared mother Irina Lvovna.

Nikolai Ermakov says that when he watched the race, he was so worried that he himself does not know how he survived. "I'm very happy! Serezha has a good finish in the last laps," he says.
