Evgenia Kosetskaya in an interview to the press-service of Federation of badminton of Russia: "the season was not all as planned, and something which was even more disillusionment. But, of course, there were successes. The most successful and important for myself I consider two Europe-team and personal. And there, and there it turned out to show that I can, perform tasks and even in some places to do a little more than planned at the beginning.
In any case, during the season I grew up in the game and feel that I can do more, the main thing is not to stop and continue to work. I hope this year will be good not only for Europe. This year the European games, I hope that here too I will realize plans and I will act at the level. I am very happy to win the competition. I definitely wasn't expecting it.
