[edit]
2021 European Championships (SC)
Gold medal – first place 4×50 m freestyle 1:34.92 (NR)
Gold medal – first place 4×50 m medley 1:44.19 (NR)

At the 2021 European Short Course Championships held at the Palace of Water Sports in Kazan in November, Klepikova won her first gold medal in the 4×50 metre freestyle relay, where she split a 23.63 on the anchor leg of the relay to help the relay team finish in a new Russian record time of 1:34.92.[19][20] Klepikova won her second gold medal of the Championships in the 4×50 metre medley relay, where she helped set a new Russian record of 1:44.19 for the event by splitting a 23.81 for the freestyle leg of the relay.[21][22] For her performances setting two Russian records and winning two gold medals as a 16-year-old in the senior international competition, Swimming World named her as one of "The Young Talents" for the Championships.[23]

2021 World Short Course Championships

[edit]

In late November, Klepikova was announced to the roster for Russia at the 2021 World Short Course Championships to be held at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in mid-December.[2] The first day of competition, 16 December, Kelpikova split a 53.81 for the anchor leg of the 4×100 metre freestyle relay, helping advance it to the final ranked fifth.[24] The finals relay, which did not include Klepikova, went on to place sixth.[25] In the prelims heats of the 100 metre butterfly on day five, Klepikova ranked 21st overall with a time of 57.86 seconds and did not advance to the semifinals.[26] The sixth and final day of competition Klepikova started off the day by swimming the second leg of the 4×50 metre freestyle relay with a split of 24.53 and helping qualify the relay to the final ranking fourth.[27] For her second event Klepikova split a 58.45 on the butterfly leg of the 4×100 metre medley relay in the prelims to help achieve a rank of fifth and qualify the relay to the final with a time of 3:55.15.[28] Klepikova was substituted out for the final of both relays, where the 4×50 metre freestyle relay placed fifth and the 4×100 metre medley relay placed fifth.[29][30]

During competition, Klepikova and all other Russians were required to compete without the name of their country name, flag, and anthem, instead swimming under the name Russian Swimming Federation per the Court of Arbitration for Sport ban not allowing the usage of such representation items by Russians at any World Championships in any sport between 17 December 2020 and 16 December 2022, inclusive.[31][32][33]

2022: Doubly banned for her nationality

[edit]

In March 2022, at 17 years of age, Klepikova was banned from all LEN competitions indefinitely, rending her incapable of defending her European junior titles in the 50 metre butterfly and 100 metre freestyle from 2021 and denying her the chance to make her debut at a LEN European Aquatics Championships at least past the 2022 European Aquatics Championships.[34] Additionally due to her being Russian, she was banned from FINA competitions starting 21 April 2022 and at least through 31 December 2022, which denied her the opportunity to compete at the last FINA World Junior Swimming Championships she was eligible for and the first she was fast enough to compete at, the 2022 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships.[35] However, had she been allowed to compete at the World Junior Championships, she would have been subjected to the same band that did not allow her to use her country name, flag, nor anthem at the 2021 World Short Course Championships, only this time in her own country.[31][32] For all non-FINA competitions from April through December 2022, she and all other Russians had their times deemed as not counting towards world rankings and world records, including world junior records.[36]

Instead, Klepikova focused her efforts on competing in Russia, achieving a personal best time of 54.45 seconds in the 100 metre freestyle at the 2022 Russian Championships in April.[1] At the first of two parts of the 2022 Russian Solidarity Games, a multi-sport and multi-country event, with swimming contested in long course metres in July in Kazan, she won the silver medal in the 50 metre freestyle, finishing in a personal best time of 25.05 seconds.[37] On 26 August, she won the gold medal in the 100 metre butterfly at the Summer Spartakiad with a personal best time of 57.97 seconds.[38]

Later in the year, at the second part of the 2022 Russian Solidarity Games, with swimming contested in short course metres in November, 17-year-old Klepikova won the bronze medal in the 50 metre butterfly with a personal best time of 25.69 seconds.[39] She also won a silver medal in the 100 metre butterfly with a personal best time of 57.43 seconds, which was 1.13 seconds behind gold medalist and fellow Russian Arina Surkova, who set a new Russian record in the event.[40]

2023

[edit]

In March 2023, World Aquatics announced a change in competition regulations allowing female swimmers to compete as junior swimmers through the year they are 18 years of age on 31 December, meaning female swimmers such as Klepikova (18 years of age at the end of the year in 2023) became age-eligible to compete as juniors through the end of 2023, where they had not previously been age-eligible as the age cut-off was 17 years of age.[41] Thirty-tree days later, World Aquatics announced the extension of its 2022 ban was still in effect indefinitely.[42]
