Swimmer Lifintsev said that he was not very upset about missing the Olympics
Russian swimmer Miron Lifintsev, who won the national championship in Kazan, described his emotions about missing the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. His words are quoted by Match TV.
According to him, he is not too offended, since he is still very young. “I will have a lot of competitions now. In particular, the BRICS Games, the Cup final, the Friendship Games,” Lifintsev said.
The 17-year-old athlete won the 100-meter backstroke at the Russian Championships. Lifintsev covered the distance in 52.34 seconds, setting a national junior record. This result would allow him to qualify for the Games in Paris.
On September 4, 2023, the World Aquatics bureau allowed Russian athletes to participate in tournaments in a neutral status. Athletes will only be able to take part in events where the time or result is determined by the performance of one swimmer. A maximum of one athlete from Russia per discipline will be allowed to compete.
