Family members of swimmer Nikolai Svechnikov, who disappeared in the Bosphorus, still do not have video recordings of the swim, as they are not provided by the organizers. This was announced on October 7 by the athlete's mother Galina.

"We still don't have records of the swim to date, and it's scary. If eyewitnesses say that they saw their son 500 m from the start, before reaching the first bridge, then we need to take pictures of this place," Svechnikova told RIA Novosti.

According to the mother of the missing swimmer, we are talking about the Sultan Fatih Bridge.

On September 24, Svechnikov's mother said that the organizers of the swim were hiding details about her son's disappearance. She noted that there were no recordings from the swim, although filming was underway, there were many correspondents. Before that, on September 20, the swimmer's mother reported that the search for Svechnikov had expanded to the Marmara Sea. According to her, the Red Cross has also joined the search. Before that, Svechnikov's wife blamed the organizers of the swim, in which the Russian participated, for his disappearance.

Svechnikov disappeared on August 24. A professional swimmer did not reach the finish line across the Bosphorus in Istanbul. After swimming 500-600 m, the athlete disappeared from sight. Honored Master of Sports, world record holder in swimming Nikolai Skvortsov suggested that the man could have been swept away by the current.
