The Universiade champion (2019) in the throwing of the hammer Irina Klimets could not show any result at the stage of the continental tour in athletics, which was held in the capital of Kenya Nairobi. 30-year-old native of Volynshchina fulfilled three attempts, but not one of them was counted.

The victory in the competition was won by Canadian Kormarin Rogers with a result of 77.93 meters. The second place was taken by the Danish woman Katrin Jacobsen (74.21 m), the third was the American Jaine Cassanavod (74.17 m).

Irina admitted that at one moment she simply burst into tears like a child. She did not hide her emotions and emphasized that this is normal-to feel bad when something does not work. She explained that she does not want to create the illusion of an ideal life on social networks, because the scenes are not only successful, but also pain, disappointment and difficult periods.

" And I know that not one like that. Each of us passes through moments of pain when it seems that you will not stretch. And this is absolutely normal - to experience pain, sadness, despondency, despondency. This is part of our path, ”wrote the athlete on Instagram.

According to the Ukrainian, power is not to never fall, but to rise, even when it is very difficult. Irina urged not to be afraid of emotions, but to perceive them as part of growth and development.

Recall that in early August 2022, Klimets made a real splash at the European Championship, which was held in Germany. The 28-year-old native of Volynshchina set the historical record of our country, and also tore off the ovation of the Olympic stadium in Munich.

During the traditional representation of athletes, Irina appeared in the national Ukrainian image-there was a yellow-blue wreath on her head, and tapes were woven into her hair, the same color.
