The famous Tyumen athlete Yuliya Efimova, who won the “gold” at the World Swimming Championships in Kazan, expressed the need for leadership change Russian Swimming Federation (WWF). The reason, according to Efimova, is the “absolute failure” of the Russian national team in the competition.

«We need to change direction. Four years ago Sasha Popov wanted to do domestic swimming – quoted Efimov Sports.ru. – He was still saying – if you want the gold medal at the Olympics, I can do it and I know how. But apparently someone did not like it ».

Tyumen athlete explained that a good result at the World Championships in Kazan due to the fact that it is not practicing with the team.

« play for the team I will always, because I – a patriot. And even the current leadership will not discourage me this desire. Now the head coach does not speak with me. But I can see how there is a communion with the other guys – solid netsenzurschina – she said. – Yes, I approached the coaches about the situation with the relay. He received the answer – say thank you that you do not touch. That’s what I said Victor Avdienko. I do not understand his role in the team. We have a head coach, there is President of the Federation, and in fact, the team is constantly Avdienko which all give instructions and guidance on how and what to do ».

Address by the Russians in Kazan Efimova called an absolute failure and expressed bewilderment on the preparation of the national team to the World Cup home. “I think the same thing will happen at the Olympics, nothing will change” – summed it.

At the world championships the Russian team in the team competition was in third place, however, this achievement – the achievement largely synchronized swimmers. Swimmers also won all four awards in 42 kinds of the program, with a gold medal, only one of them.
