BREAK AND COACH CHANGES
He ended his partnership with Brazilian coach Arilson Silva due to the difficulties of training together during the COVID-19 pandemic and began working with Lukas Brandmeier ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. After failing to record a qualifying time for the Games, he quit the sport for two months and instead ran in the primary election for mayor in Dnipro, Ukraine. "I was depressed and confused about what I wanted in life." He returned to swimming when he was invited to train in Saarbrucken, Germany, with coach Luther Jones, who had previously assisted his coaching under Silva. (swimswam.com, 31 Oct 2021) |
