Girev spoke about the experience of training with Dave Salo after the Tokyo Olympics

Olympic medalist in Tokyo Ivan Girev said that after the Tokyo Games he trained for a time with Dave Salo in the United States.

Girev, 22, became the silver medalist in the 4 x 200 meter freestyle relay at the Tokyo Games.

– He wrote me an invitation letter, and I went to the United States, I swam with him there, then I came back here. In general, I liked it, but the work I’ve done before – long runs, big volumes – it’s not going anywhere. Unfortunately or fortunately, I cannot swim without such work. Dave has more sprint work, it’s positive, there’s an emotional release, but, let’s say, not everything suits me.

However, I think you need to try other methods to figure out what works for you. After the Games, I understand that well. I have a plan and motivation to work, and we’ll see,” Girev told .

Salo previously worked with three-time Olympic medalist Yulia Yefimova.
