Honored Coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova explained the confession Kamila Valieva the best athlete of 2022 in Russia, and also noted that one should not compare the successes of figure skaters with the unsuccessful performances of football players.
According to VTsIOM, Valieva took first place in a survey of Russians, 7% of respondents voted for her. Second place went to the triple Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Alexander Bolshunov (5%), the third was the hockey player “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin (four%).
– Camila had a very difficult year, during which she was offended, western journalists attacked her and stopped her from performing. But she still came out and showed a great performance, and people saw her. She has held up well this year, which is why she was chosen as athlete of the year.
Can we say that figure skating is now more popular than football? What do you vote for in football? Because they screwed it up? It was not enough to compare figure skating to football. The difference is obvious,” Tarasova told Sport24.
