Former coach of Russian swimmer Evgeny Somov, Mikhail Chernyshov, told that he would be monitoring his performance at the Paris Olympics.
Somov has met the qualification requirements for the competition in the United States and has received an invitation from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to participate in the Games in neutral status. The athlete told that he will send a response to the IOC with his consent.
— He had good prospects, results in juniors: he won the European Championship and the World Championship, went to study in the USA. There was a break in competition, but then he came back and swam faster than the Russian record. I am happy for him.
— Will you support Zhenya at the Olympics?
“I have already checked when the 100m breaststroke will be there, I will check again that it is exactly on schedule and broadcast, and, of course, I will watch,” Chernyshov told .
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11.
