We probably have the results from that meet in our back issues, which are available to premium subscribers.
Give me his name, and I'll take a look at our 91 and 92 issues.
It was Mark Kurganov (alternate spelling Kourganov). belavia originally included his name in the post, then edited it out. I still had it saved in my search history. All I could find is that he currently coaches in Canada.
Though I'm not a masters swimmers, my coach is right now. He swam on the national team in the USSR in the late 80's and early 90's. Unfortunately, he has not been able to find himself in any results online. I believe he said he finished 3rd in 91/92 world cup (not championship) for 50 or 100 free. That same race Popov was first.
Anyhow, I can not find any info about the world cup anywhere. Did I misunderstand him, or is this event not very popular.
He also finished 13th or 14th at one of the early 90's LEN European championships.
Thanks for any help.
FINA keeps a record of all world cup results.
It's very likely in their archives. Good luck.
