Here comes the World Championship water sports sports. The last to finish was the classical swimming tournament in the pool, which gave both a series of memorable events (world records and historical achievements) and a little disappointment (Ukrainian athletes never climbed the podium again). Let's focus on the most highlights Barcelona-2013.
I would like to note right away that in comparison with the World Championship two years ago, our swimmers took a step forward (got into where large quantity finals), set several national records, but, alas, none of them had a real chance to compete for a medal. The ball in the capital of Catalonia was ruled by other athletes.
The first swimming world record of this calendar year was set last Monday. Already in the semi-finals of the 100m breaststroke Lithuanian Ruta Meilutyte showed a record time of 1:04.35.
The next day, everyone was talking about American Katie Ledecky, who became world champion in the 1,500m freestyle with a new world record of 15:36.53. The previous record holder was another American Kate Ziegler, who in June 2007 showed a time of 15:42.54.
On Wednesday, there were no world records, but the future heroine of the entire championship, American Melissa Franklin, climbed to the top step of the podium for the third time.
Thursday turned out to be another competitive day with at least one world record being broken in the fast waters of Barcelona. The semi-finals in the 200m breaststroke were won by Denmark's Rikke Meller Pedersen in 2:19.11. Thus, a native of Odense broke the previous world record of American Rebecca Sony (2:19.59), set in Olympic London.
It is interesting that on Friday the world record holder from Denmark did not become the world champion, having lost the final to the Russians Yulia Efimova. She became the first in Russian team who have won the world championships in Olympic disciplines over the past ten years. The last was the legendary Alexander Popov, who in 2003 at the World Championships also in Barcelona soloed in the 50 and 100 meters freestyle, as well as in the 4x100 meter crawl relay.
Saturday began with the world record of Russian Yulia Efimova in the qualifying swim at a distance of 50 meters breaststroke (29.78). The previous achievement of 29.80 seconds belonged to the American Jessica Hardy and held since August 2009. Already in the evening after the semi-finals, she became the ex-record holder. The Lithuanian Ruta Meilutite did her best, covering the distance in 29.48 seconds.
On the same day, the Olympic champion in London at a distance of 800 meters freestyle American Katie Ledecky showed a time of 8:13.86. The previous world record was set by Briton Rebecca Edlington in August 2008 and was 8:14.10.
On Sunday, the history of world swimming was rewritten by the phenomenal American Melissa Franklin, who at the age of 18 became the first woman on the planet who managed to win six gold medals in one world championship. Interestingly, the FINA Trophy (best swimmer) at the end of the competition was not awarded to the prodigy from Pasadena at all, but to her compatriot Cathy Ledecky and the Chinese Song Yan.

The renaissance of water sports in Russia
In Budapest, our swimmers swam in such a way that sometimes the heart jumped out. Ours and theirs. “God, where is this side?!” - thought Svetlana Chimrova during her medley relay stage of the final day. And who didn't think? Who with every stroke did not devastate the body in the name of seconds - show! Vladimir Morozov, who in a similar relay was eager to swim away from the damned fourth place - and swam: “It was hard to breathe, there was a ringing in my ears”? Or Nastya Fesikova, who, it turns out, was going to end her career at all? The dedication of the Russian team in Budapest was impressive. And she made me believe: everything in our swimming will finally be fine.
Veronika Popova, Yulia Efimova, Svetlana Smirnova and Anastasia Fesikova celebrate the historic "silver" of the Russian team in the 4x100m medley relay.
Ten medals: three gold, three silver and four bronze. This result was the best for the team in the last 23 years. In 1994, Russia won by one more (4-5-2), also finishing third in the medal standings. Russian swimming begins to remember the luck of distant years - in last time We had three awards of the highest value at the World Championships in 2003.
The final day of the swimming tournament, despite the fantasy already experienced the day before with three gold medals and a beautiful men's "silver" in the 4x200 relay, was doomed to a valid state.
Yulia Efimova opened the evening. And who else? "Fifty dollars" breaststroke - another showdown with Lilly King. Everything was decided by touch. Oh damn, oh King! Both the medal and the world record (29.40) are again with the American. To say that it is not fate for Yulia to beat her in the hundred-meter race and the “fifty kopecks” is to take on unjustified and wasted courage. Therefore, it is better to say this: while King is ahead in the sprint, she has both the Olympic title and records. And Julia is the queen of the 200m. And in general - the queen: 14 medals of the world championships.
Just an hour and a half after the duel with Lilly King, our athlete again went on board. Not alone anymore - in the team of relay racers. The combined women's relay at the 2013 World Championships in Barcelona brought Russia bronze medal. And Budapest even saw the first Russian history girls' victory - in 2010 at the European Championship. I saw it, but I didn’t award it with gold, I washed it with tears of disqualification. Efimova then made a false start.
In Budapest-2017, Yulia was the only one of those old four, Anastasia Fesikova, Yulia Efimova, Svetlana Chimrova and Veronika Popova came to the start. By the way, only Nastya Fesikova was not in the medal Barcelona, Daria Ustinova then opened the relay.
Fesikova swam with all her might. I handed over to Yulia the fate of four with a lag of 0.25 from the Americans. She said that it was hard, she repeated to herself: “Stop, Yulia, stop, I’m swimming!” Efimova did not spare herself in the last start of the championship: Lilly King was at least 0.03 behind here. And when it was all over, Fesikova said: “We did it, Nastya, we did it together!”
The final second place is the happiness of friendly and fearless work. And a new achievement: never before has the female four - neither in Russian nor in Soviet history - climbed so high.
It was later possible to tell the girls that, tuning in before the final, they sang the song "Combat". And what? “The day of the Russian Navy, and we are also in the water, torpedoes are like that,” Popova said.
And one could recall a joke that never left Chimrova's head: “I understood what a responsibility I was. The girls said they would go on maternity leave if this time there was no medal.”
Or not a joke at all?
“I am the captain and I have the coolest guys! Idyll, calmness in the team, no one interferes with each other, - Nastya Fesikova did not hide her emotions. - We always had something wrong, but now there is a cool relay race. And the team as a whole."
... And the men's combined relay brought our team "bronze". We study the statistics, not relying on memory - the last time, and also a “bronze”, our medal was in this discipline 10 years ago, at the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne: Arkady Vyatchanin, Dmitry Komornikov, Nikolai Skvortsov and Evgeny Lagunov.
And now - Evgeny Rylov, Kirill Prigoda, Alexander Popkov and Vladimir Morozov. All handsome, all already with medals, except that only Popkov is a rookie in this row. And Morozov made me worry about the “sick” again, about the 100-meter race, donated by him for the sake of the 50-meter medal that he never received. Vladimir has the most fast time days: 46.69.
President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov says that Russia has excited the whole world with the results shown in Budapest. You can probably say so, although the world has its own reasons for joy, as well as for grief. But the fact that our swimmers excited themselves, and most importantly, they appreciated and tested their own strength in the face-to-face fight, is a fact. After all, too often in recent years it happened that the estimates before the start were not justified, the rivals quickly sailed away from the estimated seconds. The "gold" of Rylov and Chupkov in Budapest, the awards of the Reds and Prigoda, the "silver" of the 4x200 freestyle relay convincingly say: Russia is saying goodbye to stagnation and retreat from the pedestal. And even what was extremely disappointing during the championship - the notorious wooden medals - today looks like opportunities for growth.
The head coach of the national team, Sergei Kolmogorov, believes that there were talented guys in the national team before. But now the training of swimmers has changed, a bet has been made on individual programs preparation. For this, by the way, fought more than one coach and more than one year. And "in a significant number of cases it was possible to minimize coaching errors." As a result, “the results of their level” are shown in Budapest. Russia, alas, is not yet at the level of the United States, here you don’t even need to look into the medal standings: the Americans have too strong traditions laid down over the years. But to impose on them a fight at separate distances and win at them is quite possible.
As Yulia Efimova said, "I am satisfied with this championship." Adding that there are three years ahead to "completely let go." Not every member of the team will be 100% satisfied with themselves, but everyone has three years before the Olympic Games: to “let go” for the Efimov style of victories, which, fortunately, turned out to be contagious.
