Medalist at the World Swimming Championships Svetlana Chimrova admitted she is determined to continue her career and is happy to see the return of the three-time Olympic medalist Yulia Efimova to competitions.
Chimrova won two gold medals and a bronze at the Russian Short Course Swimming Championships in St. Petersburg. During the tournament, her former teammate Anastasia Fesikova ended her career.
– I have not finished yet.
— Are you ready to swim until you’re 33 or older?
– Let’s see! This is all in question. The older you get, the more difficult it becomes. What Nastya did was very cool. I would like Nastya to come back. And Veronica Andrusenko comes back. These people mean a lot to me. Our relay races bring a lot of memories and feelings that cannot be expressed in words. You just have to live it. What happened and cannot be returned – you always regret it. Do you want to relive this experience? But the girls chose their path, so all that remains are memories. Every time we meet, it’s always a lively emotion.
Thank goodness Yulia Efimova is back. I am very happy to see her, to see her interest in sport. I hope she comes back for a long time,” Chimrova, 27, told .
