Triple Olympic medalist in swimming Yulia Efimova said she changed her mind about competing in amateur competitions after her career and was ready to try her hand at the Masters.

— Are you ready to compete at the Masters after finishing your career?
— About 10 years ago, I would have said, “No, you can’t drag me there.” Now I say: definitely yes. I already know which competitions I would potentially like to participate in – in the United States, on Lake Tahoe. I went there to encourage my friends: they were doing a half-hour stage relay race. I loved this so much! The atmosphere is so cool, everyone is relaxed, everyone swims for themselves. The Russian girls and I, who have swum before, have already noticed this beginning. I’ll have to try it later! — Efimova told .
