Savely Savlukov won the 400-meter race as part of the Sprint Festival in Luzhniki. The athlete admitted that he was uncomfortable with the question of when he would finally fulfill the Olympic standard.

He also explained what the winter recession could be associated with and told how comfortable it is to work with coach Sergey Klevtsov. "I think every athlete has some kind of unloved job in training, from which he happily shirks," he said. "We have to put up with it and score"
