“Thank you! At my retirement age,” she added.
The Swimming Federation responded to Efimova’s comments
The head of the Moscow City Swimming Federation, Yevgeny Korotyshkin, stated that the management is doing everything to ensure the best possible placement of sports teams at competitions.
“There are standards set by the ministry, and we cannot accommodate them in a five-star hotel. We do everything possible to find the best conditions among all the national teams,” Korotyshkin said, adding that many teams envy the teams from Moscow, since the Federation always accommodates them in the best hotels.

He also noted that if the accommodation conditions are not satisfactory, you can rent a place to live in the city. “Anything that goes beyond the established funding – at your own expense, please, we have never prohibited it,” he suggested.
The head of the Moscow Swimming Federation also assured that he would come to the competition and check the accommodation conditions.
