Ilya Borodin<\/strong> was in record-breaking form at the Russian Swimming Championship<\/strong> where his time of 4:11.17 in the 400IM was both a world junior and national mark.<\/p>\n

Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong> was 0.08 off his 50 back world record in 24.08,\u00a0Martin Malyutin<\/strong> went 3:45.92 in the 400 free with a final 50 of 26.66 and Anastasiia Sorokina\u00a0<\/strong>lowered the Russian junior 400IM record which had stood for 37 years.<\/p>\n

Borodin – who turned 18 in February – already held the world junior record with a time of 4:11.50 from last year’s Russian Championships which were also held in Kazan in October<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Saturday he served notice in the morning prelims with a time of 4:15.00 before returning in the evening where his time propelled him to the top of the rankings.<\/p>\n

Maxim Stupin<\/strong> was second in 4:14.20 with both men inside the FINA A cut for Tokyo.<\/p>\n

In the women’s race, the Russian junior record of 4:43.78 that had stood since 1984 was finally lowered by Sorokina.<\/p>\n

Yelena Dendeberova<\/strong> had set the previous mark more than 20 years before Sorokina was born and four years later would take 200IM silver at the 1988 Olympics<\/strong> in Seoul, South Korea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Sorokina finally toppled the record with a time of 4:43.44 albeit outside the Olympic cut.<\/p>\n
The meet is the only opportunity for swimmers to put their names forward to potentially represent a Russian ‘team’ – despite the ban handed down by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The initial four-year suspension awarded to Russian Anti-Doping (RUSADA)<\/strong> following the manipulation of data was halved to two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport<\/strong> in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Individual athletes have the opportunity to prove themselves innocent making them eligible to compete under a neutral flag as was the case at Rio 2016.<\/p>\n

Malyutin – who was joint bronze medal-winner with Duncan Scott at the 2019 World Championships – came from almost two seconds adrift at the 300m mark to claim victory with a final 100 of 54.65 (27.79\/26.66).<\/p>\n
Splits<\/em>: 55.99\/1:54.18\/2:51.47\/3:45.92<\/p>\n
That was inside the cut for Tokyo as was the 3:46.17 of Alexander Egorov<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Kolesnikov returned after rattling his 50 back world record to anchor a Moscow 4×100 free quartet to victory in 3:14.62 which featured a 47.60 leg by Vladislav Grinev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Yulia Efimova<\/strong> won the 50br in 30.59 with Anastasia Fesikova<\/strong> taking the 50 back in 28.00.<\/p>\n
In the semis, Kirill Prigoda<\/strong> leads the men’s 100br in 59.43 with Arina Surkova<\/strong> already within the women’s 100 fly cut in 57.76.<\/p>\n
