Winner of the World and European Swimming Championships Kirill Prigoda said he didn’t lose motivation in the absence of international departures.
– Swimmers, like footballers, have long lived without international competition. How did you adapt to that and didn’t you lose motivation to train.
‘It’s a matter of self-interest. Everyone sets their own priorities. My priorities are quite high, I am very demanding of myself. Like many of my colleagues, I am in charge of the result, I want to fight and I use every opportunity for that, Prigoda said on .
Prigoda also spoke about the importance of football’s BET Premier Cup for St. Petersburg. “Zenith” in preparation for the new season. Zenit in their last game of the tournament were beaten Fenerbahce on penalties (0:0, 4:3 – on penalties). At the same time, the Bleus-Blancs-Bleus lost their chances of winning the tournament by gaining 5 points.
– Can the PARI Premier Cup save Zenit’s situation?
– I think so, because in football, like in swimming, there are 1-2 decisive starts or tournaments in a season, and everything else is preparatory. Of course, if there is a tournament, especially with foreign teams, then that’s great. When swimmers from the BRICS countries come to us, it’s always pleasant, interesting and welcome.
The 2023/24 season in Russia kicks off on July 15 with the OLIMPBET Russian Super Cup game between Zenit and CSKA. Watch the live broadcast from Kazan on and MATCH PREMIER channels, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites, the meeting will start at 17:00 Moscow time.
