European swimming champion Evgenia Chikunova said she was shocked by the result of the 200m breaststroke at the World Championships in Budapest.
This distance was won by Lilly King (USA), covering it in 2 minutes 22.41 seconds. Chikunova won the distance at the Friendship Games with a score of 2:20.41.
– She showed a heart to all the fans as a sign of gratitude for their support. They made our outing at the start very cool, close to world level. I felt like I was in Abu Dhabi at the World Championships. Very cool. There’s a feeling of international competition, and that’s really great,” Chikunova told .
Have you watched the World Cup?
– I saw the results. I was upset with the way they swim, because 2 minutes 22 seconds – I don’t know what time it is. I understand that the post-Olympic season, but … There were chances for prizes. I would go over there and tune in for gold. I interrupted this time since the world championships and that adds motivation to my preparation.
– If you swam 2 minutes 22 seconds at the World Championships, would you be upset?
– Very well. To be honest, a lot.
