— Do you think Russian fans will ever see such success of the football team at the Olympic Games?
— It must be said here that the year 1988 was not only strong in football. In terms of the total number of medals and the number of golds, the USSR team took first place in the ranking. We won gold medals in every team sport! There are also many gold awards in individual events. This year was the peak of Soviet sport.
