– Zhenya, in the current situation, didn’t you want to end the season earlier than planned and refuse to participate in the Russian Short Course Championship?
– I rested a lot after the Spartakiad, – Rylov answered .
– Active or passive?
– I went to the hall – paths, a bicycle, an ellipsoid. I did cardio – my pulse was 132 so it was easier to start than usual.
– Have you lost weight?
– Desiccated.
– There was no “why am I doing all this” moment?
“I constantly try to improve myself, to work on myself. I have found certain muscles that help me “eat” the load, and therefore it is psychologically easier. So I was looking forward to these competitions.
– Did you participate in training camps with the team?
— Only on the Tour.
Did you miss Krugly?
– To be honest, no. I’m already a family man, so I like being at home more.
Have you looked at the results of the world and European championships?
– I’ve seen the records, but that’s their business. We now have separate departures. But our results are still the results, and at least one group on social media will certainly show that they swam such and such.
– Will there be a Salnikov Cup?
“I will approach him.
– Do you want something special in terms of result?
– As I am already fully prepared, I just have to improve and, over the next six months, try to achieve better results.
– Do you believe there is a chance of admission to the World Cup?
– Not really. I’m not skeptical, but the mood towards us hasn’t changed much. Yes, and it doesn’t depend on the opinion of people in general, but on those who make the decisions, they still depend on someone…
– They promise the first stage of the Russian Cup in Sakhalin. Would you like to perform there?
– So far we have only been to Vladivostok for a training camp. Before the Olympics, I got there later than usual. It wasn’t all bad there, but we sat there a bit longer than necessary. I felt there was an acclimatization to Tokyo. I’m a person who adapts well, but that’s not the case for everyone.
In Sakhalin, the coach will decide – I will participate in the Cups or we will sit on the Tour and he will squeeze all the juice out of me. Andrei Gennadievich [Шишин] fully invested in the work.
“And Oksana (Logvinova)?”
— Oksana is a consultant.
— How did you react to the words of Thomas Bach?
– For me, all the nice words on this topic are in the category of fantasy. The question is what will be done, not what will be said. Words don’t mean anything. Then there will be another interview in which he will say: well, it didn’t work out. He will come up with a lot of nice, smart, beautiful, rational words, but in the end he will say: it didn’t work. Let’s see what happens next. So far, everyone is in favor of equality, for the performance of all genders. Everyone should participate, except Russia. So far this is what it looks like.
– New Year’s plans?
“Looks like I’ll be at the rally!” First time getting it for New Years.
Without what can you not imagine this holiday?
No family, no love. And the cats!
