Swimmer Misharina said she was satisfied with Kirpichnikova’s words about her results.

Russian champion Ksenia Misharina expressed satisfaction with the words of the Olympic medalist Anastasia Kirpichnikova on its results.

Kirpichnikova, who changed her sports citizenship from Russian to French, won silver at the 2024 Games. She said she was monitoring the results of Russian swimming and specifically noted Misharina. A match between the Russians and Hungarians took place in Debrecen, Hungary.

— Ksenia, how did the match in Hungary go?

“It was all more work-like than special.”

– But are you happy to have broken the record?

– Mixed feelings. At the beginning of the year at the Russian Championships, I said that by the end of the season I would like to get closer to the time of 8 minutes 25 seconds. It didn’t work out at the Cup, but I knew that there would still be a chance, and here everything went well. I didn’t expect it, I was just preparing to do my best.

– You have the last start of the season – the Spartakiad. Do you go swimming when you are tired?

– We’ll have to sail on what’s left. I won’t swim with light hands.

— Have you watched the Olympic Games?

– I watched. I understood that if I had shown my time in the Cup final, I would have been 8th in the “one and a half” race. The qualification ended with my best performance; in the final, we swam even worse. But as I said, it is too early for me to go to the Olympics, swimming is great there.

— Nastya Kirpichnikova mentioned you separately in her interview. How was it received?

– I was told about it. It was good that they followed the results of stayer swimming in Russia, – Misharina told .
