President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov told that he did not follow all the events of the World Championships in Fukuoka and that it was difficult to compare the results with the Russian Cup final due to the different emotional context.
The final of the Russian Swimming Cup has started in Kazan, at the same time as the World Aquatics Championship is taking place in Fukuoka, Japan, which the Russians have not been allowed to due to the situation in Ukraine.
– In this group, records have already been broken more than once, including world records, Chikunova’s extreme record was approved. The guys, of course, will compare their results with the World Championships, but here the emotional background is different.
I can’t say that I follow every race at the World Championships. There were world records, it is gratifying that swimming does not stop. I think records are still possible. The championship is interesting, but not enough to watch – ours is not there, – Salnikov told .
The final of the Russian Swimming Cup takes place in Kazan from July 25 to 30. The first broadcasts of the tournament will take place on July 25 on the Match! Arena”, “Match! Country” and “Match! Planet”, sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru from 5:40 p.m. Moscow time.
