The Pro Swim Series event is currently being held in Austin, Texas.
The competition in the 100-meter breaststroke started on January 14. In the preliminary heats, Petrashov recorded the second-fastest time, allowing him to advance to the finals.
The final took place early in the morning on January 15, where the Kyrgyzstani finished with a time of 59.55 seconds, ultimately taking second place and earning a silver medal.
The first place was claimed by American Van Mathias with a time of 59.45 seconds.
Additionally, at this tournament, Petrashov will also participate in the 50 and 200-meter breaststroke events.
The head coach of the Kyrgyzstan national team noted that "the tournament has gathered many strong athletes who, like us, are preparing for the 2028 Olympic Games. Olympic champions from the USA are present here, as well as the French team with Léon Marchand. The Kazakhstan team is represented by nine athletes who will also be training in the USA. We hope for support from the State Agency for Sports so that Denis can continue his training there," he said in an interview with Sport AKIpress.
