Double Olympic medalist Kliment Kolesnikov told that he gave himself a gift on the final day of the Vladimir Salnikov Cup by posting a good result.
On Monday, Kolesnikov won the 100-meter backstroke (48.63 seconds).
— I don’t remember how I swam this distance at the Russian championships. I thought I would swim closer to 49 seconds today. Considering my condition, the result was good. I gave myself a gift, you could say. I would rate my performance at the Salnikov Cup as average. “I showed better results than I imagined in my head,” Kolesnikov told .
The Vladimir Salnikov Cup international tournament will end on December 18 in St. Petersburg.
