Olympic medalist Dovgalyuk says he has no plans to end his swimming career

Olympic silver medalist in swimming Mikhail Dovgalyuk told that he was not yet considering ending his professional career, noting that the main motivation for him was fast time from a distance.

Dovgalyuk won the silver medal in the 4x200m freestyle relay at the Tokyo Games.

– This year, there was no vacation before the short course season, but there were no plans to miss the competition either, although I always perceived the short course as passing competitions. Focus on long water, – said Dovgalyuk “”.

– Are the prices motivating?

– A priori, there is motivation, I do not count too much on the prize money. The main motivation is to show good seconds for yourself.

– You were intriguing before the autumn-winter season about plans…

– Then I talked more about life projects.

Do you want to finish swimming?

– Nope. For now, I’m not leaving.

– What do you do in your free time?

– Training, personal development, just relaxation – I can go fishing, just travel. On the way to Kabardinka we visited several towns. Our views are excellent.

– Fishing is interesting.

“When we go fishing, we just catch fish. I went to the Volga, to the Ruza Reservoir, to the Rybinsk Reservoir. The last time they caught a pike, they put it in a cage and it left on its own. In Kabardinka I also went fishing, at the training camp I had to somehow distract myself.
