Torino Olympic Champion Svetlana Zhurova believes that the selection of the best athlete of 2022 Kamila Valieva dictated by the emotional component of people.
According to VTsIOM, the first place in the poll of Russians for the title of the best athlete in Russia in 2022 was taken by Valieva, 7% of respondents voted for her. The second place was taken by the three-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Alexander Bolshunov (5%), the third was Alexander Ovechkin (4%).
– Bolshunov won more medals and I accept the sporting principle here. People are driven by emotions, and Camila has stirred up incredible emotions! When a person has such a sense of superiority, he will undoubtedly call such an athlete the best. It is not usual for athletes to think in hypothetical categories, there is a protocol and an outcome. If a person has become an Olympic champion five times, then he is undoubtedly superior to the Olympic champion who has become once, Zhurova told Vprognoze.ru.
