European swimming champion Ilya Borodin told that the World Cup winner Andrei Minakov originally met him at the airport in St. Petersburg, printing a cardboard portrait of a friend.
Minakov with a portrait of Borodin rooted him in the final of the Spartakiad of the strongest at a distance of 400 m complex, which ended with the victory of Ilya.
“This performance will be remembered by many people,” Borodin told a correspondent. – He met me at the airport with this face. I decided that meeting a sign was poor, but here I saw exactly where I needed to go.
How would you rate your run in the final?
– It will do. The long water season is over and I would say it’s closed on a high note.
– Do you plan to swim in short water?
– Yes, there are plans that can already be implemented this season, I will not say which ones specifically.
