Swimming world record holder Kliment Kolesnikov told that for him, participating in the Russian Championship is a top priority, regardless of the tournament’s qualifying status.
The Russian Short Course Swimming Championships will begin on November 21 in St. Petersburg. 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.
“My task for now is simply to perform at the Russian Championship, and what happens next will be decided as events unfold,” Kolesnikov told .
