Chikunova answered the question whether she would qualify for the World Championship based on the results of the Chechen Championship.

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 .
