“As for Colombia, first of all, thanks to the press for their attention, because in the last two days they have written as much about basketball as they have not written for several years, although during my work in the federation we built a bunch of sites, launched various social projects, etc. But seriously, this is of course a serious disappointment, first of all for us, yes, the team could not match the level of the tournament, but we certainly did not want that. “There is no point in deceiving anyone, bringing the team and beating it by 100 points. That is why, after the first round, we tried to do everything possible to ensure sportsmanship,” Kirilenko said, as quoted by Sport-Express.
