Social networks discuss the decision of the famous Russian swimmer to become an American citizen.

One of the most famous and successful Russian athletes, swimmer Yulia Yefimova, announced her desire to become a US citizen.

Three-time Olympic swimming medalist Yulia Efimova admitted the possibility of obtaining US citizenship, but now it is more important for her to get a green card, TASS reports:

“I don't even have a green card yet, and you're talking about American citizenship. If given such an opportunity, then why not. And over the green card, one would think that it would be possible not to make a visa all the time, because it is so difficult - to constantly open, reopen. We'll see there".

However, all recent years, Efimova already lives and trains in the United States.

When asked if she expects a negative reaction in Russia if she receives US citizenship, 29-year-old Efimova replied: "What a reaction, I am already finishing my sport".

Earlier in an interview with "Soviet Sport" Yefimova already explained why she can make such a decision:

“I remember in 2012, when I arrived in Russia, they told me: “You need to drink psychotropic pills. You're happy! You can't be like that before the competition! You have to focus on the goal, get in the mood. " I look at them, and only one thought: "Fuck." On the contrary, it is necessary! And here - these fees, pressure, everyone walks like soldiers. It rains every day, depression is around. They say to you: "You have already Americanized." But when you arrive in California, everyone sees you as a normal girl..."

On social networks, these words of the famous swimmer were taken with understanding:

- The most correct decision. What is the point of competing for a country that could not protect you and your national team.

- Oh, where is Isinbayeva, the State Duma deputy living and training? (the answer is in Monaco).

- They don't leave the country. Leave the Zone.

- Everyone wants to leave, wherever they want, just not to play for Russia. And hockey players and football players and anyone. All the children of our elite are already "bump", and whoever is not there is preparing...

- Believe me, if people are offered good living conditions in the United States, then all of Russia will leave, and the officials give a fuck, because they already all have real estate in the same USA and the EU, and the stolen money that they stole from Russia lies in the Virgin Islands and in Panama. The place of residence does not matter ... The whole planet belongs to people...

- What does "good conditions in the USA" mean? It is necessary to work everywhere, especially in America, which offers good conditions only to extraordinary personalities, while the rest will vegetate and sit on the beggars' subsidies! If average, stay at home.

It is curious that quite recently one of the best football players in Russia in the early 2000s, bronze medalist of the European Championship as part of the Russian national football team, Dmitry Torbinsky opened his own football school in the United States, although in Russia, where this game is going through a long crisis, his experience how useful it would be. Torbinsky moved to live in the United States in February 2020.
