Swimmer Evgenia Chikunova believes that South African athlete Tatyana Smith at the Paris Olympics is capable of surpassing the result of the Russian, with whom she won the 200-meter breaststroke at the Russian Cup final.
On Sunday, Chikunova clocked a time of 2 minutes 18.98 seconds, the world’s best result of the season at this distance.
— Your result is the best of the season. Do you agree that this is now inaccessible to anyone?
– No, I don’t agree. I think Tatyana Smith will easily outpace this time. For some reason, I’m sure. Of course, it’s a little frustrating, but we’ll see.
— Will she beat your world record?
– I don’t want to guess, we’ll find out. As far as I understand, she is in very good shape,” Chikunova said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on .
Last April, Chikunova set a world record in the 200-meter breaststroke at the Russian Championships – 2 minutes 17.55 seconds. Chikunova’s record was ratified by the International Swimming Federation.
