Swimming world record holder Evgenia Chikunova said she was not ruling out the possibility of setting a new short course world record at the Salnikov Cup.
The Salnikov Cup will take place in December in St. Petersburg. Chikunova won the 200m breaststroke at the Russian Short Course Championships on the final day. She holds the long course world record for this distance.
“Everyone expected me to set a world record, but it didn’t work. » I try not to get upset, it’s probably first place in the world rankings. It’s as if the second part collapses, we’ll know, it’s clear that we can’t stop there. If I don’t get sick before the Salnikov Cup, maybe I can (break the world record), Chikunova told .
The Russian Championship takes place from November 20 to 25. Watch live broadcasts of the final series these minutes on the Match channel! TV. Planet”, as well as the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
