Athletistic/ Football. Former Russian national team footballer Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, commenting on the story of the handshake between Ruslan Malinovsky and Alexander Golovin, made it clear that athletes should not become hostages in political battles.
Recall that after the final whistle of the French championship match “Marseille” – “Monaco” (1-1), the Ukrainian midfielder approached Golovin, holding out his hand. After the incident, Malinovsky was forced to explain to Ukrainian media that he mechanically hugged Golovin.
“We all remember how high jumper Yaroslav Moguchikh was severely obstructed for a joint photo with Maria Lasitskene at the Olympics. But the first reaction is the most heartfelt. That is, that Ruslan really wanted to kiss Alexander Golovin and has done so since the One can only sympathize with the fact that Ukrainian and Russian athletes have more political than sporting relations imposed on them, ”quotes RT Bilyaletdinov.
