- Kirill, after gold performance in the European championship in Hungary you are up in arm?

- Judging by fights in Budapest, I gathered a form and I feel rather surely. Before I won Grand Prix series tournament, at the end of April – the European championship where there were all leading wrestlers in my category. Force to me are given by understanding that I fight not only for myself, but also for all country. The trainer's staff believes in me, and it gives additional incentive, - Denisov noted in conversation with the correspondent of ASN "Tyumen Arena".

- It is already precisely decided, what you will fight on "Masters"?

- Yes, hundred percent. I am ready to fight on "Masters". I talked to Ezio Gamboy, and he told that I have now a good form. Therefore I have to protect honor of Russia at this large forum. It is sure that I will adequately act. Besides it for me will be the first serious start in Russia because last year I passed the European championship held in my native Chelyabinsk. Certainly, "Masters" it is perfect other level took part in the Grand Slam tournament in Moscow, but. In Tyumen there will be real "cabin".

- Probably, it is healthy, what the cities neighbors – Tyumen and Chelyabinsk representing Ural federal district, constantly receive large tournaments on judo?

- Certainly! For us – wrestlers who has no relation to the organization of large sports forums, it is simple shock! Very pleasant surprise! There is a wish to thank all those people who gives all the time and energy of the organization of prestigious competitions on judo.

- In "Masters" only the best 16 athletes of the world take part in each category. You have now the fourth place in IJF rating. It is happy with this position?

No way! If I was happy with the fourth place in a rating, I would accept also performance on the Olympic Games in London. And to it I remained is categorically dissatisfied. I consider that I have to be if not the first, at least in the three. I want to progress and rise everything higher and higher. I began a new Olympic cycle, and I on each start will give all the best on the full!
