Swimmer from Obninsk again became the champion of Russia

Alina Gaifutdinova won the gold medal of the National Swimming Championship, which takes place in St. Petersburg. The athlete sailed the fastest at a distance of 50 m on the back.

This is Alina’s fourth medal at the championship and the third gold medal. Let me remind you that our talented athlete already has two first places in the 100 m distance on the back and in the relay, as well as the bronze for the 100 m freestyle, Governor Vladislav Shapsha wrote in his social networks, congratulating the champion.

As MK in Kaluga reported earlier, Obnin swimmers were among the strongest in Russia.
