Winner of the European Championship Anna Egorova told “” that this is not the first time that the remaining disciplines have been left out of the commercial departure schedule.
The program for the Champions Cup, which will be held in Kemerovo in August, does not include stayer freestyle distances.
– I was included in the roster as one of the last points in the 400m freestyle, but this distance is not. I train all summer, I swim at least 8 km in one session. And then they send a program and say – choose a distance. And there is nothing to choose from. I can only swim 200m freestyle.
I was told that a week ago the program was (distance) 400 meters freestyle, and now there is only 400 meters complex, which in women does not swim at a high level.
– Do you hope that the organizers include the remaining distances in the program next time?
“I would like to believe it. It’s not just in Russia. The International Swimming League (ISL) has also removed stay distances. I don’t understand why we are so poor, we also train, we want to have a chance to win prizes,” Egorova told .
The Champions Cup will take place in Kemerovo on August 3 and 4.
