President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov said he was not yet planning to attend the World Aquatics Championships, which will be held in Fukuoka, Japan.
The world championship will be held from July 14 to 20, and in the first days of this month, World Aquatics will make a decision on the possible admission of Russians to international competitions. The application of athletes for the world championship ends in June.
– As a member of the Bureau, I can go to the World Championships, but I do not plan to attend them yet, because all the meetings are also held online. Let’s see how and what will happen, – said Salnikov “”.
According to the All-Russian Swimming Federation (VFTU) press service, despite the suspension of Russian athletes, World Aquatics continues to cooperate with the VFTU on a number of programs, in particular the Swimming for All program. As part of this project, London 2012 Paralympic Games finalist Stepan Smagin and Russian junior record holder Nikita Bodrov are organizing a series of swimming lessons for athletes and coaches in the Maldives.
