Russian swimmer Evgeny Somov said he is ready to compete in Russia, but he does not rule out the option of changing citizenship. The athlete’s words stand out “Sports Express”.
“They called from the Moscow Federation and asked me to speak on their behalf. I didn’t want to take any action, I didn’t want it to affect my neutral position. So I have no problems returning to Russia and sailing. Everything will depend on which way I go and what options are available to me. I haven’t been to Russia for a long time, I want to go to the dacha, see my family, and especially it’s great to go to the bathhouse. I really missed it! – answered the swimmer.
Somov finished 13th in the 100-meter breaststroke at the Olympic Games and failed to advance to the semifinals in the 50-meter freestyle.
The Olympic Games began on July 26, with competitions running through August 11. The opening ceremony took place on the Seine River. Russian athletes, who compete in the Summer Olympics as neutrals, did not attend the ceremony.
