Double Olympic swimming champion Evgeny Rylov will not qualify for the World Championships in December.
The Russian Short Course Swimming Championship begins on November 21. As Vladimir Salnikov, first vice-president of the Russian Swimming Federation, told , this start will become an internal qualifying event for Russian swimmers. According to the rules of neutral status, only one Russian athlete in neutral status can start a distance at the Short Course World Championships, which will be held in December in Budapest.
— As I said before, I am only gradually recovering from my illness. For this reason, at the Russian Championships I planned to swim one distance – 200 meters on the backstroke. Therefore, now there is no talk about qualifying for the World Championship, I am recovering and getting in shape,” Rylov told .
