Russia has an important role in swimming, our athletes often succeed in making international podiums. We work hard, both swimmers and coaches."[16] Her performance led the Italian Swimming Federation to dub Tatarinova the "queen of fast" for the event.[17]

2022: Double ban for being Russian

Because Tatarinova was born in Russia and continued to compete for her country, she was banned by FINA, the world governing body for aquatic sports, from all of their competition between 21 April 2022 and the end of the calendar year along with all other Russians and Belarusians.[18] FINA also did not count times swum by Russians at other competitions in the remainder of the year for world rankings nor world records.[19] Additionally, she was banned for being herself along with all other Russians and Belarusians by LEN, the European governing body for aquatic sports, from all of their events indefinitely, with zero intent to ever allow them to compete again communicated at the time of ban implementation in March 2022.[20]
