Swimmer Savely Luzin, after setting a Russian record in the 800m freestyle, told that this result was unexpected for him.
On Sunday, Luzin won the 800m freestyle final (7:33.97) at the Russian Short Course Swimming Championships in St. Petersburg.
—Have you prepared for such a moment? To what extent was this expected?
– Actually, there is a surprise. I didn’t think I could show such speed. Overall, I’m happy, but I don’t realize it yet.
“You didn’t think you’d be so fast?” »
“I didn’t expect to break a Russian record.” In my head, perhaps, there was such a result. But 7.33 is fast enough for me so far. But it turned out to be accessible, I coped with this load and speed.
— Swimmers are now registering for the Short Course World Championships, which will take place in Budapest. Are you ready to stay in top shape for the tournament which will take place from December 10 to 15?
— We were preparing for the Russian Championship, that’s for sure. But the situation is such that we will have to adapt to the changes. I think I’m ready for this. Let’s see how it will be in two weeks, ”Luzin told the correspondent.
