Coach of the Russian national swimming team Sergei Chepik told that the first stage of the 2023 Russian Cup in Sakhalin will be an opportunity to work out the adaptation process in another time zone, with which the athletes have problems.
The first stage of the Russian Cup is scheduled for June 6-8 in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
— The first stage of the Cup of Russia-2023 will be held in Sakhalin. What are the advantages of this solution?
— There’s a brand new swimming pool, and something new is always good. We did training camps and more than once in Vladivostok, it was tough. If we go to competitions in Asia, we have to get used to such things, and we need swimming pools in this part of the country. There are sports that fly long distances and even several times a month. It’s tough, but you have to be able to adapt to the conditions,” Chepik told .
