Rusė covered the distance in 1 minute. 06.02 sec., She was surpassed by her nation Jevgenija Čikunova (1 min. 05.9 sec.), Bronze medalist Lilly King (1 min. 05.54 sec.), South Africa representative Tatjana Schoenmaker (1 min. , 22 sec.) And Lydia Jacoby, a 17-year-old American who won gold.

After the neutral flag, Jefimova, the representative of Russia fighting for doping scandals, was also fifth in the overall ranking after the semifinals (1 min. 06.34 sec.).

Five years ago, at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, J. Jeffimova took second place in the 100-meter event.

This was J.Jefimova’s main match, because the Russian will not participate in the 200m breaststroke match by decision of the coaches of the national team.

This happened due to the fact that during the Russian championship in Kazan in April, J. Jefimova got two compatriots in this match – J. Čikunova and Marija Tiomnikova, who will compete in this match.

Recently, J. Jeffimova has not been the most brilliant swimmer in the international arena. At this year’s European Championships in Budapest, J. Jefimova won the only medal in the 200m breaststroke competition when she finished third.
