The competition started on September 22 in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the press service of the regional Ministry of Sports reported.
For Sergei Fesikov, these competitions were the first after an injury. He recovered for six months, and decided to test his fitness at SakhMasters 2023.

Anastasia Fesikova will also compete in the 50-meter backstroke. Olympic champion Denis Pankratov will take part in the tournament as a sports journalist and commentator for the Match TV channel, where he has worked since 2015.
