– Svetlana, how did you pass the time between the Russian Championship and the summer competitions?
We rested for about three weeks. My husband and my dogs went to Sochi by car. It was really great, even if the weather wasn’t entirely lucky.
I can tell the dogs weren’t ready for a twenty hour ride. At first, they jumped to their feet: “Well, when will we arrive?” But then they realized it was no use.
Stopped only at gas station. In principle, it is comfortable, we have traveled before, only without dogs. OK! Great. I’d rather drive a car than fly a plane – I’m afraid. Apparently I’m upset.
– I understand what people are doing in Sochi – there are a lot of them there and they are trying to relax. But what do dogs do in Sochi while on vacation?
– They swim ! Yes, I took my dogs to the sea. Someone will think that I am a little coo-coo… At the same time, I did not swim myself, but the dogs yes.
– Yulia Efimova complained that there are still very few dog-friendly places in Moscow.
– It’s true. But we are working on it. I wish there were more places like this.
Are cats more respected now?
– They are treated with respect. People are afraid of dogs. And I really like dogs. I can take it from the street, tie it up somewhere. I’m sorry, animals are helpless.
– I know, you even took dogs for overexposure.
– I am a member of many dog chats, at first my husband said “no”, but he is as nice as me, so they finally took him.
They even took the birds! The bird was hit, and we took it, tried to get out.
We don’t have much space to take dogs for overexposure for a long time, but for a short time, until we tie them up – why not.
– Did you miss the dogs when you sat on Krugly during the pandemic?
– Sure. But when everything was closed, we had twelve puppies.
– This is more than the national team’s starting lineup. Even one in hand – there will always be.
– Yes! But we all sold.

And a little exercise.
Let’s talk sports! (laughing.)
– Varya Subbotina said she didn’t watch the World Cup. I didn’t see what you showed him until later. So you were watching.
— Yes, it was interesting. It was also interesting to be on the other side of the screen. It was good when the girls from the Peretrem Telegram channel (hosted by Vlada Chigireva, Alexandra Patskevich, Svetlana Romashina. – ) said that I won the world championship sitting on the couch … I wouldn’t have never could say that myself about yourself.
And besides, I am one of the few to believe that we will go to Fukuoka first, then to Doha. I still have hope, after all, FINA initially allowed us to compete. We even participated in the World Series.
– Tatyana Evgenievna Danchenko said that she liked the Japanese soloist.
– And I liked it. I really liked the Austrian duo. Another team from Mexico! These teams went straight to my heart.
– That is, you are not one of those who will say – all this is impossible to watch without us.
– No, you are. I can honestly say what I like and what I don’t like. I’m really happy for the Austrian duo, really.
– Your teammates put programs to other teams. Don’t want to do it later?
– I am interested. Maybe I will too in the future. I will probably work as a coach after 2024 when I retire. Let’s see what will happen.
– Tatyana Nikolaevna Pokrovskaya spoke in Kazan – Svetlana Kolesnichenko, of course, is struggling, but she will not change her nationality.
“I don’t understand why people are asking me questions about changing citizenship. Such a question is not even worth it.
– Which of all the rule changes got you hooked on the principle of “Well, why is that?” ?
– I don’t know yet how to do the world’s most difficult duet in 2 minutes 45 seconds, each combination should last more than 16 seconds, and there are seven in total. It turns out: a heap, a puff, a heap, a puff …
– Sensation: Russian synchronized swimmers need oxygen!
– Maybe jump in the water with a ball? Certainly the brains are boiling, but it is in the good sense of the term.
As for the men in the group, it will be interesting to see who will be the first to do so in major competitions. There was already a precedent in junior competitions. Everything is going in this direction, the world is changing. The main thing is that female duets are not replaced by mixtures. I am not against the mixed, I am for, but not in place of female pairs.
What are you willing to do to promote your sport?
– I’m the most boring person, I don’t even have a Telegram channel. I am one of those who only work for the result, not for public relations. It’s not that I want to be a media person, it’s not my story. Varya Subbotina and I are different in this respect. Varya runs social media. They have a different generation. And I… I don’t know…
– And you are the most successful athlete in the national team at the moment.
– Its good. All! Great! I just work, I compete – that’s enough for me. I would like to go to the World Cup. Maybe I wanted to get ahead of Svetlana Romashina in medals at the world championships, but everyone has their own star and their own story. It seems to me. Let’s see how it will be.
