Double Olympic medalist Kliment Kolesnikov said he intends to compete in five individual distances at the Russian Swimming Championships and hopes to get closer to the best results.
Kolesnikov will start 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.
– It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s warm up now, tomorrow is the first start. The preparation was good, I think I should swim close to my results, Kolesnikov told .
– Close to your results – will you need to shave?
— Yes, I’m going to shave (laughs).
– And your best result is very decent. The task is not easy.
– Yes, but I want to swim close to them. We are not talking about world records yet, although we would like to. I feel disappointed, at the top of a certain form, but we will see.
– Why are you swimming here?
– 50 backstroke and crawl, 100 backstroke and freestyle, 100 complex and relay, most likely. But there are times – depending on the schedule, a busy schedule overlaps. Let’s see how it goes.
