Yulia Efimova won the 50m breaststroke final in the Bahamas

Triple Olympic medalist, six-time world champion Yulia Efimova won the 50m breaststroke at the Bahamas National Championships.

Yulia Efimova, 32, clocked 31.57 in the 50m breaststroke, taking first place.

— Now, I’m not going to tell you all the circumstances and adventures in the Bahamas. But one thing is that the competition moved forward by half an hour, which happens often. Waiting for a while is no problem, you just have to adapt to it. They sent me a new schedule according to which the 50m final will take place at 9:00 p.m. Well, I arrived and I’m warming up calmly. But it turned out that later they decided to make up time and the final was announced at 8:27 p.m. It was really a surprise! I rushed to the start, then expressed my surprise to the organizers. Well, okay, it’s fifty dollars, not the Olympic distance. As it happened, it happened, and I needed him to confuse me. I already understand some aspects of the organization. I’m just preparing for a hundred,” Efimova said for .

On Sunday, on the final day of competition, Efimova will compete in the 100m breaststroke, an Olympic distance and qualification for the Paris 2024 Games. The athlete competed in the 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2021 Olympic Games, where she won two silver medals and one bronze.
