At a recent meeting in the Kazan Kremlin, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov presented the medal "for valiant work"to Alexander Krasny, a master student of the Volga Academy of sports. The meeting with the winners of international competitions took place On the day of the athlete. Its participants were 9 representatives of the University.
At the main starts of the year – XVIII world aquatics Championships in South Korea's Gwangju Alexander Krasnykh became a silver medalist in the 4x200 meter relay. That's what "academician" told the Agency "R-Sport".
About missing the European championship in Glasgow and health problems: 
- It's no secret that I was suspended from training and competitive activities for health reasons right before the European championship in Glasgow. On the one hand, it seems to have recovered, on the other - missed the main start of the season, and after that it was quite difficult to start. And 2018 itself has not been easy, since January. We went to the training camp in Thailand, maybe because of the fact that trained in a different climate, ended up in the hospital...
About preparation for selection for the world Cup 2019: 
- ...This time we started the year in Tenerife, we did some different work. Well, in view of the fact that Veronika and Slava Andrusenko began to play for Tatarstan, we went together to the training camp, for which thanks to the leadership of the Ministry of sports of the Republic. We practiced where we conveniently did cycle training in the outdoor pools. It made itself felt. I swam 400m well at the Russian championship, and the result at 200m can also be called relatively good, given what baggage I came to this selection. 
On competition on "their" range: 
"She has grown, and very much. When I started, only Nikita Lobintsev floated out of 1 minute 47 seconds, then gradually others began to swim out of this result. Now we see that the Russian League win with a score 1 minute 45 seconds, then 1.46,0, then 1.46,3... Here's the stats on the winners. In General, the 200m competition is now such that passing people in the final swim there... we have Martin Malyutin, who shows good results. I sincerely hope that he will have a good future. Well, the rest is not very fond of swimming 400m, although the volume we are not very large-11 km per day. This is indeed a relatively small figure.
 About the Olympic prospects: 
- I follow the results, projecting them on the 4x200m relay and I can say that at the Olympics the final will be hot... the Alignment is quite serious. The Japanese were third in Rio, the Chinese will put up a good line-up, the Brazilians. Well the Americans who do not show sharp results in this relay for the Olympics, as always, will scrape the bottom of the barrel and find four people who swim for 1 minute 45 seconds. I don't know how it's possible, but they do. The British, again, the team has strengthened, and now it is a bid for Olympic gold. Here is for them all need to keep. Well, plus the Australians! Them and with time zones easier will, than many.
