Batutist Litvinovich said that shorts with a red elastic band helped him win the Olympics
Belarusian Olympic champion in trampolining Ivan Litvinovich spoke about the talisman that helped him win the gold of the 2020 Games. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
“My mother told me that from the evil eye there should be shorts with a red rubber band. At the Olympics, I performed like that, it helped, ”the athlete shared. Litvinovich added that earlier he also had a talisman toy in the form of a polar bear, but then it got lost.

Earlier, Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova said that she had strange rituals during her sports career. “I woke up – I had to get up on my left foot. On the ice, I also always got up on the left foot. There were all sorts of crazy superstitions. At the World Championships, I did everything the opposite – and won it, ”she said.
