Athletistic / Swimming Russian swimmer Nika Godun, after winning the 100m breaststroke at the Russian Championships in Kazan, shared her opinion on whether she had enough motivation and competition in the face of the suspension of international competitions.

If all this is before the end of the year (suspension of international departures – approx. Athletistic), then yes, but I don’t know. I am not 15 years old, it is difficult for me to say: “You can swim all your life at the Russian championships.” No, it’s not like that for me.

You see, the Russian championships are mainly organized to build a team for international competitions. It’s great to be the best in Russia, but no one needs it until it is released on the world stage, – Godun is quoted by Match TV.
