swimming olympic medalist Martin Malyutin told that he didn’t think about the prize money during the Russian Cup finals when he swam a distance of 200m freestyle.
Malyutin won in this type of program. The All-Russian Swimming Federation has announced a prize of 1 million rubles for athletes who in the final will surpass or repeat the winning result of the world champion in Fukuoka in the same type of program.
Was it possible at your distances?
– At 200 meters it was very real, but it is difficult to compete with such high speeds in the Russian Cup. I swam without thinking about the money, the main thing is that the result is good, I won, it’s nice.
– David Popovich did not win the 200m world championship. Surprised?
For some reason, I thought he wouldn’t win. Feels as predicted, in the end won the Brits. But in general, the result is not so high, Popovich’s personal result is higher.
You say it’s hard to settle down. I talked about the same thing last year. But you are swimming. So it works ?
– I have to organize an emotional outburst, at the end of the season it’s not easy, but I try.
– And after? Champions Cup?
– Yes, I start in Kemerovo, – said Malyutin “”.
The final of the Russian Swimming Cup started in Kazan on July 25. The first broadcasts take place on the Match! Arena”, “Match! Country” and “Match! Planet”, sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru from 5:40 p.m. Moscow time.
