Champion of maximalism. Turopkin brought Russia the "gold" of the Youth Olympics 17-year-old Russian swimmer Bogdan Turopkin won gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar in the 100-meter freestyle - Russia's second gold in swimming after the victory of Seraphim Pokina. The victory is particularly important: in Senegal, 13 Russian athletes are competing under the national flag and anthem. The road to the medals turned out to be extreme - due to flight delays, the swimmers spent about 53 hours on the road and arrived in Dakar only on the morning of the opening day of the Games. After the finish, instead of euphoria, Bogdan criticized himself: his personal record was not broken, but the 200 and 400 meter swims were ahead of me.
