Double Olympic medalist in swimming Kliment Kolesnikov said that he does not attach much importance to first place in the world rankings at a distance of 100 meters on the back.
Kolesnikov won the 100m backstroke at the Russian Championships on Monday with the best result of the season in the world – 52.54 seconds. Previously, this achievement belonged to the American Hunter Armstrong (52.59).
– Cool, but compared to the world record – swimming for children. I would like to get closer, in principle, to my best seconds. Now the result in the world is at the same level as the guys. At the moment, that’s how everyone floats. Let’s take a closer look at the summer, because in the usual season we would now have a selection and the results would not be the best. Foreigners will prepare for the World Cup, they will show the results there – we will rely on them, ”reports the correspondent of in the words of Kolesnikov.
The Russian Championship will be broadcast live on the channels of the Match.
