Olympic synchronized swimming champion Marina Golyadkina explained her move from Ukraine to Russia. Her words are quoted by Sport24.
The athlete said that she won various international tournaments at the junior level for the Ukrainian national team, but then realized that there was no development in the team. Then her mother suggested that she move to Russia, where synchronized swimming was the best in the world.
Golyadkina was born in Donetsk. Until 2015, she played for the Ukrainian national team, but then received Russian citizenship. As part of the national team, the athlete became an Olympic champion at the Tokyo Games, as well as a five-time world champion.
On March 29, the head of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, said that Russia and Ukraine have no plans to boycott the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. According to him, the discussion about the desire of individual countries not to send athletes to France is over.
