Of course, the expectations are the most exciting and enjoyable, because everyone prepares to the fullest, no one gives themselves the slightest leniency in anything. They polish everything in a fraction of a second, as happens before any departure. We have the main start every season as athletes prepare to show off at their peak. Everyone is already tired, waiting for the start to show the maximum. I recommend everyone to watch the competitions of this tournament, because it is unique, – said Kiseleva on .
The Russians, by decision of the International Swimming Federation (FINA), are suspended from competitions of departures under the auspices of this organization until the end of 2022 on the background of the situation with Ukraine.
