Triple Olympic medalist in swimming Yulia Efimova who won the 50-meter breaststroke at the Vladimir Salnikov Cup international tournament, said the flamingo costume she wore at the start helped her.
The athlete covered the distance in 29.76 seconds. Second was Nika Godun (29.85), third was Evgenia Chikunova (29.98). Efimova entered the final swim wearing a flamingo costume.
— Where did the idea for such a costume come from?
– New Year’s Eve. There was a competition for the best costume, and of course for any such kipish. I think it helped me today.
Tomorrow I will have another suit. Second place in Guodong? It’s fifty dollars, it’s a lottery. Today I was lucky. If you hit, you win, if you miss, it’s the fourth or fifth,” Efimova said on the air of “Match! A country”.
The tournament takes place in St. Petersburg from December 16 to 18.
