Swimming world record holder Evgenia Chikunova told that she did not have time to fully recover from a leg injury in time for the international Swim Wars competition in Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
Chikunova won the 50, 100 and 200 meter breaststroke.
— I badly sprained my leg at the Russian Championships, but I still continued swimming. It was only after a while that I started to put pressure on my leg so as not to drown, so as not to forget the technique (laughs). Additionally, we perform various procedures and try to restore muscles. It was very painful for me to play. “Thanks to the doctors for trying to do something, to get me back into action,” Chikunova said on .
The competitions in Banja Luka took place on April 27 and 28. For many leaders of the Russian team, it was the first international competition abroad since 2022.
