Kosetskaya defended the title of the strongest Russian badminton player, which she holds for the fourth year in a row. In addition, Kosetskaya became the champion of the country in the women's doubles with Irina Khlebko (Leningrad region).
- I am very happy to win-said Kosetskaya in an interview with the press service of the badminton Federation of Russia. - But despite the fact that this is not my first title, for some reason I am very nervous in the final, I really want to win, to confirm the title and I know that many expect it from me. All this creates some nervousness purely psychologically. This resulted in me doing sometimes the wrong things, playing slowly, not being ready to accept something that usually doesn't cause difficulty. And grumbled to himself. Nastya, my opponent – well done. She has a very good, hidden attacks that are hard to take, and a great sense of flounce. Anastasia falls perfectly into the Playground, playing keenly and competently. I think she'll prove herself!
