russian swimmer Yevgeny Rylov During the business session “Champions: from a medal to a brand” at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, he spoke about the “cat” protective masks in which he appeared at the Tokyo Olympics.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the athlete came out before the heats with a mask with the image of a cat’s muzzle.
– The mask (with a cat) became topical when he said that I was not allowed to go out with a mask at the rewards. So everyone wrote: don’t get mad, everything will be fine. And then I got to take a picture with her at the awards ceremony.
How many masks were made?
There are about 200 more in stock right now. But since merchandising couldn’t do it normally, it takes a lot of time and effort. But I couldn’t get away from swimming long enough to get into cat products. Because I like to dive seriously into every business. But after achieving my lofty goals in professional sports, my popularity will allow me to do so. Well, more – love for cats, – said Rylov.
The XXV St. Petersburg International Economic Forum takes place from June 15 to 18. Gazprom-Media Holding is the general media partner of SPIEF-2022.
Rylov won two gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in the 100m and 200m backstroke.
