Russian swimmer Nikolai Zuev said that for him high competition is a source of enthusiasm thanks to which he stays in the sport.
Zuev won the 50m backstroke at the Yekaterinburg International University Sports Festival.
— Tight enough in seconds. It is clear that in the final of the Russian Cup the competition is even higher, and the results are denser.
– Plus a Kliment Kolesnikov world record.
– And yes, Clément with a world record, it is announced here. We can say that it floats beside us.
– How do Russian spinners generally live with such competition, provided there are two best swimmers at your distances?
– I try to draw enthusiasm from all this, thanks to him I continue to train, I start. First of all, you don’t think of place, but of seconds, not who is ahead of the leaders.
Today was a bit tough, the semi-finals were easier. To be honest, I didn’t fully prepare for this departure. Admittedly, the preparation was there, but not the same as for the key beginnings of the season. A big base has been built, thanks to which I have been playing since January,” Zuev told .
