President of the capital’s swimming academy Yevgeny Korotyshkin explained to why he invited Yulia Efimova speak on behalf of Moscow.
On Thursday, Efimova told that she would hold a month-long training camp in Hawaii. She also said that now, on the initiative of Korotyshkin, she will compete for Moscow and take part in the capital’s long-water (50 m) swimming championship, which will be held from March 19 to 22 at the Aquatoria ZIL sports complex.
— The Moscow Swimming Academy is a relatively new organization in the capital, but it has already absorbed the best traditions of the Moscow champions. We support athletes and grow with their sporting victories.
I know personally how much support you need not only in your endeavors, but also when someone tries to write you off. After a long break, Yulia expressed a desire to compete for the title of the fastest breaststroke swimmer in the world. Today she is Zhenya Chikunova, resident of St. Petersburg.
And I want to support Efimova, because I believe she will make the show! And it is this very popularization of sport that makes the blood boil and makes you want to go swimming. When we are not allowed to participate in international competitions, we will organize our own spectacular world championship within the framework of the Russian Championship, the Friendship Games and the BRICS Games. Show must go on! – Korotyshkin told .
The Moscow Championships will be a qualifier for Efimova before the Russian Long Course Championships, which will be held from April 14 to 19, 2024 at the Palace of Aquatic Sports in Kazan.
