“I will support Nair Tiknizyan in Armenia and Saba Sazonov in Georgia. But I will definitely wait for the moment when the Russian team – whether with bows or whistles – returns for an official match. In time, I will be older and perhaps more sentimental. Maybe I’ll even shed a few tears.
For this to happen, two conditions are necessary. One of them does not depend on me: I must live up to this moment. I’m not very old yet, but who knows. It’s no longer in my hands. But the team must survive until that moment. This is already in our power. To do this, she must play. It doesn’t depend on any particular person. It is the result of collective work. And she continues to play. And he does it well,” Utkin wrote in his article for Soviet Sport.
