The mixed sequence team of four Russian swimmers easily won the relay race four times a variety of a neutral flag in the World Water Games Swimming Championship Wednesday in Singapore, which represents the return of the country to the lead in a large pool.
Mirun Levintsif, Kirill Briguda, Daria Clipikova, Daria Trevimova achieved the fastest time in history in the World Championship (3: 37.97 d), ahead of China (3: 39.99 d) and Canada (3: 40.90 d).
The Russians and their allies are prevented from competing in many sports under the colors of their country since Russia has launched an attack against its Ukrainian neighbor in February 2022.
Last year, the International Swimming Federation reduced its rules for neutral competitors, which allowed them to participate in some individual and group races.
The Russian swimmers won two titles in the World Swimming Championships in a small basin in Budapest last December.
