Four-time world champion in synchronized swimming Alexander Maltsev told RT about his desire to compete at the Olympics.
The next Olympics will be held in Paris in 2024.
– So far, we have not discussed this issue with the coaching staff of the Russian national team. But I do not rule out such a possibility. Still, the Games are the main start for every athlete. At least, this is how the tournament is perceived in society. Although, in principle, the World Cup is the same competition. And its significance, in my opinion, is underestimated,” Maltsev said.
The International Swimming Federation (FINA) has announced that it will not invite Russian athletes to competitions until the end of 2022.
