Russian swimmers with their current results could compete for top spots and compete in certain types of programs with the Americans, said two-time Olympic champion Denis Pankratov.
Russian athletes suspended from performances under the auspices of World Aquatics due to the situation in Ukraine.
– This is a period when I would very much like to see our people in confrontation with foreigners. It seems to me that with the current results, we would pass most programs in Europe and start biting the Americans. But, unfortunately, that is how fate has decreed with this generation of athletes.
I never cease to be amazed by them. I constantly try this situation on myself. I wouldn’t have had enough motivation, I couldn’t force myself, but this generation of athletes is doing wonders. I am delighted! said Pankratov.
