Swimming champion of Russia Alexander Stepanov in an interview with , he said he was interested in the opportunity to speak at the Asian Games.

Russian athletes were allowed to participate in these competitions (Hangzhou, September 23 – October 9) under the terms of previously announced recommendations from the International Olympic Committee.

– You are now enjoying a productive period in your career and you do not have an international debut. It’s a shame?

“I don’t worry about what I can’t change,” Stepanov told .

– The chance to qualify for the Olympics remains.

– I try not to think about it, so as not to worry later because of unjustified hopes.

– Then the question is about the Asian Games, which are theoretically still possible for us. Do you wanna go there?

– I want, it is not discussed. We haven’t had international competitions for a long time and I want to see how I deal with all this stress. I don’t even want to think about what I’m capable of, I just want to test myself. Those who don’t understand such a desire simply haven’t lived the life of an athlete, with all its ups and downs.
