World record holder in short course swimming, leader of the Belarusian national team Ilya Shimanovitch said he would be performing at the Salnikov Cup in December and was just starting to get in shape.
Shimanovich starts at the Russian Short Course Swimming Championship (November 20-25, Kazan), which is included in the program of the second stage of the Friendship Games.
– I failed the contest. The last time I started at the first stage of the “Friendship Game” here in Kazan. I have been training for four weeks, I will try to get good results. Let’s see how it will be from far to far.
What are your plans for the end of the season? Salnikov Cup?
Yes, we are going. For me, the season after the break, you could say, has only just begun.
– Aren’t we expecting a world record here?
– We didn’t plan with the coach.
– Closer to the Salnikov Cup?
Let’s see (smile).
– Is there enough motivation?
– I can say for myself – I am optimistic and try to show a good result. I’m all alone, so to speak.
