– I haven’t had this for a long time! In recent years, even major competitions have been quiet. And There you go ! Cool (smiles)!
I was sure that I would definitely qualify for the Russian championship. I was 100% sure that I would win my breaststroke sets. But it is not clear what time I will show. In principle, I showed an incomprehensible time (laughs), Efimova said in a special report by Mikhail Gorevanov “Returning Home” on .
The Russian Short Course Swimming Championship will take place in St. Petersburg from November 20 to 25.
