Double Olympic medalist in swimming Kliment Kolesnikov said that so far he was focused on preparation and not thinking about a possible non-admission to the 2024 Games.
Russian swimmers by decision of the International Swimming Federation (FINA) skip competitions under its auspices in 2022 against the background of the situation in Ukraine.
– Recently, it was said that Russian athletes might not have a chance to qualify for the Games. Do you think about it now?
– I do not think about it. When the time comes when this problem is solved, then I will think about it. Everything is simple here. If we are not allowed, it is bad. If they allow it, that’s great. I have work to do, I have my own goals right now, that’s what I’m thinking about,” Kolesnikov told .
I have to work on myself. At some point, I missed a lot of things. This was in 2018 due to health issues. In February, I fell ill with the coronavirus. Now I have to take care of my health in order to have a good block of work. I will try to work on myself so that there is an opportunity to improve the result. If you don’t get sick – which, it seems, is simple – you can get better.
