Russian swimming champion Sofya Dyakova said she liked the atmosphere of the CIS Games, which will close the long aquatic season for her.
The CIS Games swimming tournament takes place in Brest, Belarus. Dyakova won it at a distance of 400 meters freestyle.
– In Brest, like many of our athletes, I am starting for the first time. The swimming pool here is beautiful, the hotel is not bad, all the conditions are there for the athletes to show the best results. The atmosphere of the competition is very friendly, cosy, we were warmly welcomed.
– How did you “survive” this start after such a busy season?
“It turned out to be really intense, but it’s the last start, you had to give all the strength that was left and take a well-deserved rest,” Dyakova told .
