What to remember
On July 27, 2023, Kazan saw Kliment Kolesnikov cover the 50 m backstroke in 23.55 s at the Russian Cup.
The Moscow-born backstroke and freestyle specialist was setting records early. He set world junior records in eight events, and at the 2018 European Championships, where he won six medals including three golds, he had already set a 50 m backstroke world record. That same year he carried Russia's flag at the Youth Olympic Games and left with six gold medals.
Kazan has also suited him in short course: that is where, on November 23, 2022, he broke the 50 m backstroke world record in the 25 m pool category.
