European short course swimming champion Arina Surkova said she wanted to update the Russian record in the 50m butterfly in the semifinals of the Russian Championship.
On Wednesday, Surkova, during the swimming semi-final at the Russian Championships in St. Petersburg, updated the country’s record in the 50m butterfly – 24.58 seconds. The previous record also belonged to him – 24.84 seconds.
— To be honest, I wanted to break the record in the semi-final to give myself confidence. I decided to go all in. Why not. I didn’t even expect that it would be possible to improve the record so much.
— Have you shortened your program for this championship?
— They canceled the 100m freestyle, she was also there that day.
— What are you going to spend the money from the record price on?
“I don’t spend them, I keep them,” Surkova told .
The Russian Short Course Swimming Championship will take place in St. Petersburg from November 20 to 25. Watch live broadcasts of the races right now on the channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
