Triple Olympic medalist Yulia Efimova told that her shiny suit helped her win the Vladimir Salnikov Cup.
On Saturday, Efimova won gold in the 50-meter breaststroke. The athlete covered the distance in 29.76 seconds. Julia arrived at the start dressed as a pink flamingo.
— I didn’t have time to prepare, I was busy with other problems.
I always say that 50 meters is a lottery. Today I was lucky, it was fun, I enjoyed it, I swam well.
I should always go out with a suit so cheerful, I feel more relaxed. It seems to me that I discouraged my rivals with my appearance. First I saw a flamingo, then I found a hat in my friend’s car and today I had the idea to wear a jacket and a wig. So the outfit was put together,” Efimova told .
The Vladimir Salnikov Cup international tournament will take place in St. Petersburg from December 16 to 18.
