Elena Vaytsekhovskaya, Olympic diving champion, reacted to his remarks.

One of the drawbacks is the possible skipping of the European and World Championships, but I do not at all exclude that athletes may be admitted to the main starts: progress in this direction in a number of sports has already begun , – wrote Vaytsekhovskaya in her blog . telegram channel.
