2016 world champion Maria Kameneva On , she said she was unhappy with her time over the distances at the Russian Short Course Swimming Championship in St. Petersburg, despite winning two gold medals.
On Tuesday, Kameneva became the first in the 100-meter backstroke of the tournament, on Wednesday she won a similar distance in freestyle and also won silver for the Kaluga region team in the 4×50 m mixed medley relay.
—How satisfied are you with the seconds?
— I’m rather dissatisfied with the seconds, I’m not in optimal shape at the moment. We are aiming for long water. Our main season is also 2024, like the rest of the world. What we have, we have. I am very happy to have obtained the first places.
— Is this the cruising power planned for this tournament? Did you expect to recruit later?
– Hard to say. It happens that you expected one thing, but it turns out to be something else. Or you don’t expect decent results, but they come. There was no expectation, just anticipation of what was going to happen.
— Yesterday and today, in the individual competitions, you added more rounds in the second part. Was it true or did it seem like it?
— This is generally my signature swimming style, I swim more in the second half than at the beginning of the distance. There is nothing surprising in this.
—Did the relay race spoil your mood? After two gold – silver medals.
– No! Personally, I didn’t expect us to be second; instead we fought for third place. There are strong teams here, so it’s prestigious to get on the podium. Thanks to the team for bringing us to second place.
— What are your general plans for this launch?
— The tournament has started, we understand that the form is not the most optimal. You always want to display results and locations as best as possible. We appreciate what we have now,” Kameneva said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!”.
