Spanish swimming coach Montero Pacheco has labelled Russian Federation world junior synchro champion Anisiya Neborako has "something special" ahead of her appearance at the 2015 European Games.
Rising prospect Neborako is already a double world junior champion and triple European junior gold medallist, and could take home up to three gold medals from Baku.
"She's a different shape to many previous champions," said Pacheco, according to the official Baku 2015 website.
"Normally, Russia have had tall and willowy girls, but she is shorter and really strong, with more muscle. She's really fantastic, really has something special, and all of us would love to have her in our team.
"She has a really big ability in spins and very nice control. Her propulsions are also really strong and fluid. But what's the future? I'm not really sure because in Russia, they have so many talented athletes."
Neborako is due to begin her pursuit of the solo title on Saturday.
