“” got acquainted with the statistical results of the swimming championship in the Bahamas, where he is trying to qualify for the Olympics Yulia Efimova .
Efimova, a three-time Olympic medalist and six-time world champion, clocked 2 minutes 29.09 seconds in the 200m breaststroke final to win the event. This result became a competition record in its entire history. In total, five athletes took the start, with Nicole Frank-Rodriguez setting the second time (2:31.20).
However, the victory in swimming did not allow 32-year-old Efimova to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games at this distance, whose qualifying time was 2 minutes 24.63 seconds.
Efimova is the only Russian swimmer to benefit from neutral status.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in December 2023 that it would allow Russian athletes who successfully qualified for the 2024 Olympics to have individual neutral status without a flag, anthem or other national symbol. The IOC also banned the participation of athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the SVO.
The Paris Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
