World Cup medalist Grinev will not participate in the Paris Olympics

Medalist at the World Swimming Championships Vladislav Grinev told that he was not going to compete in neutral status at the Paris Olympics.

Earlier, the President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation (RSF) Vladimir Salnikov said that for Russian swimmers the question of participation in the Paris Olympics was a turned page due to the admission requirements.

— We had not planned either the stage of the Russian Cup in Saransk or in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. First of all, we prepare the “Friendship Games”. I will go with the team to a training camp in Kabardinka, I like it there, the outdoor pool, it’s warm. Even in March, I liked it, despite the cool weather. The food is like that, but I really like being there, even in March, despite the cool weather,” Grinev told .

— Are you planning to participate in the Olympic Games?

– This is not for me. Competitions are above all a vacation, an opportunity to experience emotions. And when we get there, everyone will look at us askance, there will be negative things.

– Where will you then find positive emotions?

“It’s clear that nothing compares to the Olympics in terms of emotions. But the philosophy has changed and I’m happy with what I have.

— Egor Kornev won the “hundred” at the Russian Championship. What do you think of the performance of the young and bold in Kazan?

— The young people would appear sooner or later. Of course, I wanted to win the Russian 100m freestyle championship for the third time in a row and put all my energy into preparation. It was my mistake, I probably wanted it too much.

— So you wanted a hat-trick?

– Very. But I’m happy to have managed to get on the podium despite all the preparation difficulties. And young and bold – they don’t allow you to relax, and that’s good.
