swimming world championships Andrei Minakov said he highly appreciates the level of the Russian championship and is on the lookout for a serious fight ahead of this start.
On Wednesday, Minakov won the 50m butterfly at the Russian Short Course Swimming Championships, which are being held in Kazan as part of the second stage of the Friendship Games.
– I managed to improve my result two years ago, I can say that I am satisfied, – Minakov told reporters. – I’m happy to see high competition, I’m very happy that the guys are motivated and swim very fast. In such a rivalry, results are achieved faster and faster.
The Russian Championship is always a checkpoint for us. We are always listening to the fact that there will be an uphill battle, as was the case yesterday (at the World Cup – editor’s note) during the Belgium-Canada match, Minakov said.
The 2022 World Cup encounter the swimmer is talking about ended in a 1-0 win for the Belgians as the Canadians failed to convert from an early penalty.
