Arkady Vyatchanin u timu Amerike
Bivši reprezentativac Rusije, Arkady Vyatchanin ušao je na spisak nacionalne selekcije SAD-a za sezonu 2017-2018. On se na spisku nalazi sa još 114 plivača od kojih su 12 plivači na otvorenim vodama.
Da podsetimo, Svetska plivačka federacija (FINA) nije odobrila nastup Vyatchaninu za reprezentaciju Srbije ni na jednom velikom takmičenju tokom 2015. i 2016. godine (FINA odbila Vyatchanina). Kako je tada i sam objasnio njemu je Srbija bila samo „privremena destinacija“ dok je čekao da mu se u Americi završi proces naturalizacije i ulaska u njihovu nacionalnu selekciju.
U međuvremenu Arkady je postavio rekorde Srbije na 50, 100 i 200m leđno u velikim i 100 i 200m leđno u malim bazenima.
