Four-time Olympic swimming champion Alexander Popov said he liked the atmosphere of the International University Sports Festival in Yekaterinburg.
The university sports festival started in Yekaterinburg on August 20. On Tuesday, the Swimming Tournament begins at the Palais des Sports Aquatiques.
– We went to the swimming pool. Jumpers and swimmers prepare for the competition. The spirit of competition is not to be confused with anything, not to be forgotten. I thought we should leave – the water is pulling. For the first time in the history of the Urals, such complex sporting events in so many forms. Great, very good.
I cannot fail to underline the volunteers who ensure the success of the competition, who give a smile and conviviality.
What do I expect from the competition? When I expected something, I got it when I played. Now I just appreciate when the anthem sounds, when the Russian flag goes up. It’s the pleasure, it’s the pride of the country. I think, as for everyone here, – the correspondent reports Popov’s words.
