World swimming record holder Kliment Kolesnikov told that he would not be surprised by the negative public reaction to the results of Russian athletes in domestic competitions at the Paris Olympics.
Kolesnikov refused to participate in the Paris Games, saying he considered the current admission conditions unacceptable. In July, he will participate in the Russian Cup final in Yekaterinburg and in August in the Baltic Sea Cup in Kaliningrad.
— The finals of the Russian Cup and the Baltic Sea Cup coincide with the Olympic Games. The results will be compared exactly. How do you feel about this?
“If we swim worse, I won’t be surprised if they put us on the Internet for that; if we swim well, they’ll say: well, what, we swam inside the country, and that’s it.” “I will swim for myself, I have my own tasks, I work on them and I hope to fulfill them,” Kolesnikov told .
The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
