Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova posted photos from her vacation in the Hawaiian Islands on Instagram (the owner of the company Meta is known as an extremist and is banned in Russia).
In one of the shots, the athlete, wearing a red swimsuit with a floral pattern, poses lying on the trunk of a palm tree. The shot was made from behind.
Efimova won three Olympic medals. She took bronze (200m breaststroke) in 2012 and four years later won two silver medals (100m and 200m breaststroke). The swimmer also has six gold medals at the World Championships and seven awards of the same value at the European Championships.
Efimova holds the record for world championship medals among all domestic (Soviet and Russian) swimmers – 17 (six gold, seven silver, four bronze). In terms of the total number of awards in individual distances, she is among the top 10 in the history of the world championships among all swimmers.
The International Swimming Federation (FINA) banned Russian and Belarusian swimmers from competing under its auspices, even under a neutral flag, in March 2022.
Previously Alina Zagitova showed Video in a tight-chested, off-the-shoulder top.
