Foreign experts are also talking about Lithuania’s return to the Olympic Games. Swedish swimmer Therese Alshammar, owner of three Olympic medals, told Eurosport that coming back after a break in her career is both difficult and impressive.
“I am very impressed,” said the multiple Swedish world champion.
“Ruta took a long break from swimming, so I thought she finished her career and was happy with it.
To come back and continue to improve is extraordinary. She achieved a lot even as a child, at a very young age.
Normally, it’s much harder to come back after retreating. I don’t know what her training regime has been like lately, but I’m guessing it was easier to prepare when she was 14 or 15.
Now you have to deal with high expectations and memories of past successes. Therefore, such a comeback is even more complicated and impressive,” T. Alshammar told Eurosport.
Rūta Meilutytė will start in the 100 m breaststroke selection on Sunday, at 12:00 p.m. Lithuanian time. If successful, the semi-finals are scheduled for the same day at 10:15 p.m., and the final on Monday at approximately 10:30 p.m.
Kotryna Teterevkova will also compete in the same event.
