The second competitive day of the Vladimir Salnikov Cup was no less bright than the first. A new junior world and European record for the Russians! There is also a whole scattering of Russian youth records, even more stars on the tracks, even higher results and a new record of the Salnikov Cup in the women's relay.

The Vladimir Salnikov Cup is always characterized by high results among juniors. After all, one of the goals of the tournament is to allow young athletes to compete with the stars of the national team in one heat. Today, the result of this idea is a new junior world and European record in the men's 4x50m freestyle relay, set by the Russian youth team. Although Alexander Nazarenko, Roman Zhidkov, Vyacheslav Zuev and Ilya Zakharikov finished only third in the heat, they lost only to the adult teams of St. Petersburg and Moscow, which included multiple World and European champions.

There were also girls who have beaten their personal records in the return under 18 years of age four times! New records to Milana Stepanova's Russian junior record (200m backstroke) have been added today. Alexandra Kuznetsova, although she finished third, set a new Russian junior record in the 100m freestyle. Sofia Dyakova won gold in the 400m freestyle with a new national junior record. Maria Osetrova also won the 50m backstroke with a junior record.

 

The audience also remembered the duel between five-time world champion Miron Lifintsev and Kliment Kolesnikov in the 50m backstroke. Kliment came out of it the winner, and at the same time led the standings of medalists, having already won 2 gold and 1 silver at the tournament.

The New Year's atmosphere was created not only by the organizers, but also by the athletes themselves, who came out to the starting bollards either in carnival costumes, or with noses and other festive attributes. And Yulia Efimova swam the 100m breaststroke in two caps, revealing after the finish the second cap with perky pineapples. Revealing in this way a small swimming secret that sometimes athletes swim in two caps, so that the glasses are pressed more tightly.
