Captain of the men’s national team of Ukraine Dmitry Pidruchny He spoke about his injury and upcoming surgery.
“In general, I feel fine, except for the knee. It hurts so much, I can hardly bend my leg.
The condition worsened after the relay. Five days before the performance in it, I no longer felt any pain in my knee. Previous examinations that we did at home, and the symptoms and signs of the previous ones did not indicate in any way that there was a problem with the meniscus. It was clear that there was a problem with the ligament, it was being treated.
Already five days before the relay, the knee did not bother, so Juraj Sanitra decided to put me on the race. The first lap I went without problems, and at the end of the second I started to feel pain in my knee. Already on the third he kept “on his teeth.” It was difficult to walk on the final lap, because the pain was very strong,” Pidruchny said.
