“Their attitude towards us has never been decent” – Borodavko on the nominees for the Athlete of the Year award

Athletistic/ Others. Coach of the Russian national cross-country team Yuri Borodavko said that the absence of Russian athletes among the contenders for the title of the best athletes of 2022 according to AIPS was once again a reminder of the attitude of foreign journalists towards Russia.

“It confirms once again that this whole process is politicized to the max. And even sports journalists already have politics in the foreground, not pure sport. You shouldn’t pay attention to their opinion.

We were once again reminded that their attitude towards us has never been decent. Everything we have achieved, we have achieved with our own work,” Borodavko told Match TV.
