Double Olympic swimming champion Yevgeny Rylov told that after the Tokyo Olympics, he has not yet reached the necessary condition, and also expressed hope that he can participate in the 2024 Games in Paris.
Rylov won the 200m backstroke at the Salnikov Cup in St. Petersburg on Friday, showing the result of 1 minute 49.71 seconds.
– Low result, 50% satisfaction. I can’t get my form, I can’t get it. After the Olympics, I’m in a kind of swamp and I can’t reach my condition,” Rylov told .
– Do you still hope that the Russian team can compete in the Paris Olympics?
– I take it this way: what will be, will be. People know how to change their minds and come up with different reasons. So it always has been and always will be. You can hope, but expect iron guarantees – no. I have a hope. However, who knows if we will be rejected at the last moment, as was the case with the Paralympic athletes.
The Olympic Games in the French capital will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
