2020 Paralympic swimming medallist Elizaveta Sidorenko said she was shocked to see the stands full in the pool during the morning session of the Paris Paralympic Games.
Sidorenko (S10 class) clocked 28.58 seconds in the 50-meter freestyle preliminary heat and did not advance to the final.
“In principle, I swam quite well, but I didn’t have enough time for the final.” I have a mixed class, it’s quite difficult for the selection. The water is not “heavy”, fast, in the evening I could [рекорд] show. Tomorrow I will swim my main distance – 100m breaststroke, and I will try to qualify for the final there.
— How is the atmosphere in the pool?
“I’m shocked that there are so many spectators here. I thought there would probably be a lot of people in the evening, but there were already so many fans in the morning. It’s great. I would also like to see our fans in the stands, but they cheer us on TV, our family and friends support us from home,” Sidorenko told .
The performances of Russian athletes at the Paralympic Games can be watched live on the family channels Match!, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
