“It’s some kind of stupidity. Do they mean that Shcherbakova is not an Olympic champion or what? Stupidity. By such actions they only devalue themselves, nothing more.

The gold medalists from Beijing were: Kamila Valieva, Mark Kondratyuk, Anastasia Mishina/Alexander Gallyamov and Victoria Sinitsina/Nikita Katsalapov in team and Anna Shcherbakova in women’s singles. None of them appeared in the gallery of champions of the Olympic Games-2022.
