Olympic champion Ilya Zakharov named promising Russian divers, and also said that he will always support his former partner in competitions Evgenia Kuznetsova .
Zakharov and Kuznetsov won silver at the London Olympics in synchronized diving on the 3m springboard and became world champions in this discipline in 2017.
— Zheka Kuznetsov, my former partner. I fully understand that his age already limits him in some way, but I can’t help but root for it – we’ve been through too much of our lives together. Among the young people, I like Ruslan Ternova on the tower, Nikita Shleikher on the springboard. These guys can definitely compete with the Chinese. The main thing is that they themselves believe in it and correctly set other priorities. Such a priority should certainly not be the task of becoming the best in Russia,” said Zakharov, as quoted by RT.
