The Soviet Union National Team noticed his potential just like Shavarsh’s swimming trainer. After watching him swim that day they knew that he has something special inside him and which could benefit both the national team and the country in the coming years. After his selection in the Soviet Union National Team, Shavarsh was able to break 11 world records and won the world championship 17 times, amazing right? But as we said the story isn’t about the achievements but about that episode that made him a national hero.
