Down-the-line.com / Swimming. Russian swimmer, double Olympic medalist in Tokyo (Japan) Kliment Kolesnikov answered the question about the possible non-admission of Russians to the Olympic Games in Paris (France), which will be held in 2024. The athlete admitted that he didn’t think about it yet.

“No, I’m not thinking about it. When the time comes when this question is decided, 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, I have my goals for the moment, that’s what I think.

Kolesnikov – about the motivation of the Russians: “We were not expelled for the rest of our lives”

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,” Kolesnikova quotes “TV Match”.
