Athletistic / Swimming. World Swimming Championships medalist Russian Svetlana Chimrova said she does not regret participating in the international tournament in Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Earlier it became known that a disciplinary investigation was opened against Russian swimmers.
“I have not regretted going to Banja Luka and I will never regret it.
Punishments? Well, if they are, they will be,” Chimrova said, as quoted by Match TV.
After the end of the tournament in Banja Luka, it became known that the independent body for combating negative phenomena in aquatic sports (Aquatic Integrity Unit) had opened an investigation into possible violations of the rules by Russian swimmers. After the end of the tournament in Bosnia and Herzegovina, information appeared in foreign media about a possible violation of the rules by Russian swimmers. It is alleged that the Russians declared for their region, but at the same time they played with the symbols of Russia displayed on their equipment. And from March 2022, all symbols and heraldry of Russia during international competitions are strictly prohibited.
