Expressing her happiness at breaking two Turkish records in the championship, Şahika Ercümen stated, "My feelings are indescribable. Before my dive, the dives were canceled due to weather conditions. It was quite difficult to refocus and dive. However, I tried to do my best for our country. I had no sponsor this year and could not train enough. I had health problems before the competition. I am very happy to have been able to break a record under these conditions. May this be a gift to our country."
