Athletistic/ Others. Former Soviet biathlete Alexander Tikhonov responded to sports TV presenter Dmitry Guberniev, who insulted him in response to Tikhonov’s statement about showman Maxim Galkin’s non-traditional sexual orientation.

“When Margarita Simonyan (Russian journalist and media manager – approx. Athletistic) openly says on the air of Solovyov (Russian TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov – approx. Athletistic) that everyone knows that the traitor Galkin is gay, Guberniev claims that “He lives in another dimension. Dima, I don’t care about all your insults, but why didn’t you defend your friend Galkin when Simonyan called him that?” – declared Tikhonov.

Guberniev called Tikhonov “pi ****** m” after the ex-biathlete in an interview called Maxim Galkin a homosexual.
