Triple Olympic synchronized swimming champion Svetlana Kolesnichenko admitted that she hoped to see Belarusian synchronized swimmer Vasilina Khandoshko on the podium at the World Championships.
Khandoshko, competing in neutral status, came third. She has been preparing for many years under the leadership of Elena Voronova, who, like all Russian coaches, did not receive neutral status to go to the World Championships in Qatar.
“I’m really happy for Vasilina, she’s great, I’m happy for her, I’ve been very worried about her for half an hour, I support her.” He’s a great person.
— It’s difficult to predict anything with the current rules, but how did you assess his chances?
– Indeed, very unexpected results, often one thing in the semi-final, another in the final. But we were really hoping she would make the top three. And of course, congratulations to Elena Vyacheslavovna Voronova on her medal! I am very happy for her and very happy for Vasilina,” Kolesnichenko told .
