Dmitry Krasnov, the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Chuvashia, spoke about Andrey Fomin, describing him as an experienced swimmer with a long and dedicated history of training. The remark came after Krasnov shared details on social messaging platform Telegram, giving a closer look at Fomin’s athletic background and the plan that surrounded the day of the swim. In conversations that day, Krasnov offered words of encouragement to Fomin, and the two men exchanged a brief moment of mutual goodwill before they set out on the water. Krasnov’s confidence stemmed from years of preparation and a track record of repeatedly covering similar distances, even in challenging conditions. That sense of assurance reflected not only fitness but also a mindset shaped by consistent practice and disciplined preparation for endurance activities.
