Swimming world record holder Evgenia Chikunova told that his main goal for the Russian Championship now is to show a good result while recovering from illness, and not to qualify for the World Championship.
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.
— I am approaching the Russian Championship after an illness. Now the only question is to come together and show a good result. I hope I can do that. If the result is taken into account as a qualifying result, then we will see how it goes,” Chikunova told .
