Coach of the Russian national swimming team Sergei Chepik told that he didn’t think it was necessary to constantly talk about motivational issues, it was better to focus on work and prepare for competitions, as well as a possible invitation to the World Cup.
Russian swimmers have been suspended from competitions under the auspices of World Aquatics amid the situation in Ukraine.
– At the start, everyone was more or less happy, were there motivation problems in the second half of the season.
— I think we should end with questions about motivation, because everyone works, works in the reality that exists. We have already been in such a reality many years ago and have shown results. You have to prepare and perform under the current conditions. We are following the plan we have and the deadlines are all being met as they were before. If suddenly something happens and we are suddenly called to the World Championships in Fukuoka, we just have to be ready. Therefore, the focus is on hard work,” Chepik told .
