Double Olympic medalist in swimming Kliment Kolesnikov explained why at one time he did not go to study and train in the United States, but remained in Russia.
On Wednesday, Kolesnikov broke the short course 50m backstroke world record.
– Don’t you regret that at some point you didn’t go to study and swim in the USA?
– Not. There were prerequisites at a certain age, pushing me to go there. But to each his own,” Kolesnikov told .
“So why not?
“It’s not mine. I don’t like this move. After practice I go home, sit down, relax. After all, they have more active student life there. I’m not a sociophobe, but I don’t like this movement – shouting, hanging out. It suits Andriukha Minakov, but I’m a different person.
– More phlegmatic?
– Probably, yes (smile).
