swimming olympic medalist Alexander Krasnykh told the correspondent that he missed the Russian championship due to heart problems which were revealed in him during a thorough medical examination.
Krasnykh had previously announced that he would not participate this season, but eventually resumed training and wanted to start in the Russian championship (November 20-25).
– Alexandre, you weren’t going to play until the end of the season, why did you change your mind and decide to prepare for the Russian Championship?
“I just wanted to try to compete in short water, besides, it always suits me better,” Krasnykh told . – I’ve been swimming since the summer and decided – why not? I just needed some time to rest after a tough covid season. We sat in Krugly for a long time, there were very strange covid rules, it was morally difficult.
I considered it pointless to start with long water right away, so I decided to try to get in shape and participate in the Russian championships. I started training, everything was fine, but I got sick several times. I don’t know if it was covid, but there was something.
– And you didn’t pass the UMO?
– Yes, I have the same problems – with the heart. Anyone who follows swimming knows this. I have already contacted the national team doctor, I will recover.
