Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in the Telegram channel she harshly responded to the famous Czech hockey player Dominik Hasek .
Earlier, Hasek said on a social network that many athletes regret not being able to compete with Russians in international competitions. At the same time, he called on Russian athletes to more actively influence the political situation related to Ukraine.
Gashek attached to his post a photo of Stepanova with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
– I should probably be somewhat flattered that the hockey legend chose this photo to illustrate his regrets and other considerations over the absence of Russian athletes on his Twitter. But, since I mentioned it before: I personally, Dominic, will only need your advice when they call me to play hockey, for everything else you can keep it with you, no disrespect! — wrote Stepanova.
After the start of a special operation in Ukraine, the IOC recommended to international sports federations not to allow Russians to participate in tournaments under their auspices.
