Medalist at the short course world championships Evgenia Chikunova said she hoped to swim faster than the 200-metre breaststroke at the Salnikov Cup, despite her recent illness.
Chikunova at the Friendship Games updated the European record and was close to the world record in this type of program. Before the Salnikov Cup, she fell ill, recovered, but swam slower than in November during the starts in Kazan.
– The weather is not very good, I was hoping to swim much faster, but it didn’t work out. Upset – mixed feelings, not the time you hoped for, although there is nothing to look forward to (after illness). I wanted to go far away, but it didn’t work, maybe I set it up wrong,” Chikunova said on “Match! Arena”. – I’m not making plans. The plan for next year is just to swim fast – this season she swam twice as fast as her results at the world championships. This makes me happy.
