Double Olympic medalist Kliment Kolesnikov He said that in terms of atmosphere, the Friendship Games were more fun, and many were tired of the Spartakiad of the Strongest, including mentally.
Kolesnikov won the 100m backstroke at Spartakiad.
– Clément, today in mixed doubles it has been said more than once that everyone is already swimming on the machine or just very tired. What are you browsing?
– On the strength of the spirit (smile).
– How many left?
– Yes, everything is as usual. Competition is typical.
– Anton Chupkov says that the Friendship Games were more atmospheric.
Yes, that’s what I meant too. The Friendship Games were definitely more fun. Everything is quieter here than in Kazan. Although they say it is the main start of the season (Spartakiad), the majority still gave preference to the Friendship Games.
– More pleasure in terms of entourage?
– Yes. Now that’s rare. And the atmosphere is not the most combative, and for the rest – posters, advertising, musical accompaniment. Yes, and the general mood … We communicate with the guys, and we feel that there is no desire to “kill” for a medal.
