Double Olympic medalist Kliment Kolesnikov On his Telegram channel, he announced that he had decided to end his performance at the beginning of the Russian Swimming Cup final, which is taking place in Yekaterinburg.
On Friday, the athlete won silver in the 50-meter backstroke.
— Due to the borderline health condition between sick and healthy, I decided today to stop participating in these competitions. The Baltic Sea Cup in Kaliningrad is ahead. I don’t want to miss it because of illness, so I will use these few days between starts to recover and rest in order to have the opportunity to compete there.
And then I remember previous trips… I flew to Kaliningrad for the first stage of the Russian Cup in February, swam on the first day and got sick the next day. And last year, after the Russian Championship, a sick person came to Kemerovo and started with force, with pain. I am not happy with this situation and I want to go on vacation after the end of the season in good health and not spend the rest of the summer in bed,” Kolesnikov wrote on the Telegram channel.
