Russian swimmer Roman Zhdanov told that he had been impressed by the support from fans at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
On Sunday, Zhdanov, competing in the SM4 class, won Paralympic gold in the 150-meter individual medley.
— This is the first time I have encountered such stands, because in Tokyo we had no fans. And here it is really exciting. There is of course happiness, there is still work to be done, it is not the last distance.
— Your gap to your closest pursuer is 7.47 seconds, you just didn’t notice anyone. Did you realize that you could relax a little at the end, or did you work until the end?
“No, you can’t relax in any way, because in addition to rivals, there is a fight against time,” Zhdanov said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on .
Zhdanov, 26, became a four-time Paralympic champion, the Russian won three gold medals at the Tokyo Games.
