- To this result in adult wrestling I went long ago, - Valeria Koblova noted. – But I can't tell that the victory was given very hard. All competitors with whom I struggled, to some extent I already knew. I performed at the World Cup, and at the Olympic Games therefore on the first European championship I arrived in the rank of the skilled sportswoman. I want to thank separately the head coach of Russian national team Yury Shakhmuradov, for that that when I was injured on the international tournament in Sweden, it understood my position and exempted from participation in the World Cup. And further I entrusted honor to play here for Russian national team and I included in team.

- For you the final duel was how difficult?
- The final - is always disturbing. But healthy excitement it is normal if it isn't present, the athlete means fused. Besides I for my career had not so many victories therefore on each final duel I come as for the last fight. There is a wish to give all the best and justify work of all who works with me and me support. I have a big team: relatives, friends, trainer, assembly.

- What you will tell about the competitor?
- I knew that Irina Netreba – the skilled athlete. It is impossible to be mistaken with it, it will surely wrap up your mistake in own favor. At the same time I knew that she in the career fought even in category to 67 kg, competed with ours Nastya Bratchikova and Inna Trazhukova in 63 kg. Proceeding from these duels, I analyzed its fight and built tactics on a duel. It is necessary to tell that she looked very good and in category to 58 kg. In any moments I was insured, after all it is the final. But, in my opinion, victory 5-0 quite sure.

- It is your second tournament in new weight …
- In this plan I over what should work hard. I will arrive home and I will start over again to be engaged in physical preparation.
