Since 2015, I train here, in America, with my coach – Ray Mitchell
And he prepares me to all international meets, like WJSC or EJSC
I have never heard of this guy before
You don’t follow any swimming news if it is from outside us right? Like Junior world??
No I had just never heard about a 16yo American that goes 51high in the 100fly
He represents Russia internationally, but trains and competes in the US.
Incorrect, I believe Andrei actually has been training with Energy Standard for a while now
He has no connection to the US other competing here a few times a year.
He trains with Energy Standard team Elite squad
http://en.energystandard.org/team/elite-squad#minakov
and his coach is Nikita Lugovkin
http://en.energystandard.org/team/coaches#trener18
He is secret agent Russian spy, trained to disappear into crowds and swim crazy fast in butterfly style.
On USA Swimming web site Minakov is not listed as NAG record holder.
Might it have something to do with him being a Russian national?
Very likely, only US citizens are eligible to establish NAG records. It is not correct to call him NAG record holder if he is not.
