Two-time Olympic swimming champion Evgeny Rylov told that he has learned to accept criticism on the Internet calmly.
— In the context of your victories from the comments: “All Olympic champions are random, since anyone can win in the final.”
— I am the only – accidental – Olympic swimming champion in Russia in the last 25 years.
— Randomly at two distances at once?
— Yes, I also accidentally won medals in the 200m freestyle relay. I don’t deny that there is always an element of chance, but I know how much I worked, how the coach worked, how my wife supported me, how my manager supported me. How my cats supported me! I managed to implement all this at the right time and accidentally win.
“I see you treat such comments with humor.”
“There are dissatisfied people, I accepted it.” They did not experience what I experienced. Life has taught us not to look at others and not to say who is doing something wrong. Everyone has their own path. Do everything yourself, go towards your goal. I always tried to swim well. Now it does not work out, not everything in life comes true, but I won the Olympics – it came true, “Rylov told .
Rylov will compete in the final of the Russian Swimming Cup, which will take place in Yekaterinburg from July 23 to 28.
