Tiraspol, May 24. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. Tiraspol resident Tatiana Salkutsan finished her performance at the European Swimming Championship, which took place in Budapest from May 10 to 23. Top swimmers from all continents took part in the competition, so the fight for medals was very hard.
The Pridnestrovian athlete was registered in 4 types of the program, including the “mixed” team relay. However, Tatiana Salkutsan only showed a record result in the first races. Tiraspol resident has set a new record for Moldova - 29.23 at a distance of 50 m on the back.

At the end of the European voyage, the President of the Moldavian Water Sports Federation, Alexander Goryachev, suggested that the results of Tatiana Salkutsan "have dropped" due to a trip to the USA, where the athlete has recently been studying and training.
Tatiana Salkutsan is still the only representative of the Moldavian Olympic team in her sport. In the summer, the athlete from Tiraspol is preparing to perform at the adult Olympics in Tokyo.
