Kornev explained at what distances he does not like to swim

Russian swimming champion Yegor Kornev said he views the complex 400m distance as a “horse”, which is run by “really crazy guys”.

Kornev specializes in the 50 and 100 m freestyle distances.

— The next style will be “dolphin”, but each new style takes time, it takes work, you have to lie down on the water. “It’s not as fast as it seems,” Kornev told .

— You have had a meme hanging on your “wall” since 2018: “Butterfly – when your body says no, your mind says no and your coach says yes. »

— In six years, nothing has changed in this regard, to be honest (laughs). It’s better, but it’s still hard. For now, I’m just mastering the ‘batta’.

— Let’s continue studying memes… 2019: “The reason I like the 400m medley is because I don’t swim the 400m medley.”

– There is such a time. My coach Elena Yuryevna Kuznetsova, an Olympic medalist, had a record in this distance which lasted for a very long time. When I was little, I often swam this distance. I really didn’t like it. It is very painful. You have to be a hard worker, a plowman, it’s the distance of a horse. Non-humans are swimming around, non-humans in the good sense of the word – crazy guys with incredible health.
