Junior Anastasia Markova said it was psychologically important to defeat world championship medalist Svetlana Chimrova.
Markova (b. 2005) won the 200m butterfly at the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
“I was happy with my result,” Markova told . – This season I haven’t even swum in 2 minutes 10 seconds, but here I traded 2 minutes 9 seconds. At the Friendship Games, she swam slower, then it was a normal result, now it turned out even faster.
– Is the fact that Svetlana Chimrova was ignored significant for you?
– To a certain extent, it’s like removing a barrier in my head – before that, I hadn’t won against her. Now that this barrier has passed, I will continue to compete with it.
