It remains to be seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-aquatics-bureau-sets-up-task-force-to-explore-return-to-international-competition-of-russian-and-belarusian-athletes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">if Russian athletes will be eligible to compete at those Games, however<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kolesnikov is positioning himself for that eventuality. He started by outdueling <strong>Evgeny Rylov<\/strong> in the 100 back, his time of 52.54 seconds easily besting the reigning Olympic champ\u2019s 53.21. Six swimmers were under the Paris automatic qualification time in that event.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/new.russwimming.ru\/upload\/live\/4R_LC_2023\/index.html#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Results<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He added an impressive double in the 50 free and 50 back in the same session on April 19, the swims separated by just over an hour. He won the 50 free in 21.91, the only Olympic A cut of the field and comfortably ahead of <strong>Vladislav Grinev.<\/strong> He turned around to win the 50 back in 24.12. He also finished third in the 100 free, though he posted an A cut of 48.29 in prelims. Grinev won the final in 47.97, with <strong>Andrei Minakov<\/strong> second in 48.32.<\/p>\n<p>Kolesnikov was one of five multiple winners on the men\u2019s side at the meet, from April 16-21. Two of the four Russian records set at the meet came on the men\u2019s side, the obvious headliner being <strong>Egveniia Chikunova\u2019s <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/evgeniia-chikunova-obliterates-world-record-in-200-breast-with-217-55-at-russian-champs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emphatic 200 breast world record<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aleksandr Stepanov<\/strong> was in both groups. He set the Russian record in the men\u2019s 800 freestyle with a time of 7:42.47, blowing away the super-suited mark set in 2009 by <strong>Yury Prilukov<\/strong> (7:46.05.) Stepanov also won the 1,500 in 14:55.04. Both times are A cuts, as are the times of runner-up <strong>Kirill Martynychev<\/strong> in both.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Martin Malyutin<\/strong> won the 200 free and 400 free, the former in an A cut of 1:45.63. <strong>Ilya Borodin<\/strong> swept the IMs, with <strong>Maxim Stupin<\/strong> second both times. Borodin\u2019s 200 IM time of 1:57.93 was an A cut that came within .43 seconds of the Russian record set in 2021 by <strong>Andrey Zhilkin.<\/strong> He also went 4:09.12 to win the 400 IM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ilya Shymanovich<\/strong> dominated the shorter breaststroke events. He won the 50 in 26.73, an event in which he set the Belarussian record at their national championships earlier in the month, then went 58.75 for an A cut in the 100 breast. Second was <strong>Kirill Prigoda,<\/strong> who then won the 200 breast in 2:07.47. Both of his times met the Olympic auto qualifying standard.<\/p>\n<p>Rylov won the 200 back in 1:55.50, an A cut. Second was <strong>Alexey Tkachev,<\/strong> also with an A cut of 1:57.20. <strong>Dmitri Savenko<\/strong> was .01 back in third; that time and his fourth-place 100 back result were A cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Butterfly was the only stroke on the men\u2019s side without a clear dominant figure. <strong>Petr Zhikharev<\/strong> won the 100 fly in 50.88, besting Minakov (second in 51.23) and coming within .05 of taking his Russian record. The 50 was won by <strong>Egor Yurchenko,<\/strong> who went 22.94. <strong>Oleg Kostin<\/strong> was DQed in the event and later went 22.62 in a time trial to knock .08 off his national record. Veteran <strong>Aleksandr Kudashev<\/strong> won the 200 fly in 1:55.68.<\/p>\n<p>Breaststroke was where the records were at on the women\u2019s side. Chikunova\u2019s 200 breast swim <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/evgeniia-chikunova-obliterates-world-record-in-200-breast-with-217-55-at-russian-champs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stands alone as the world record in such impressive fashion<\/a>.
