— Why, in your opinion, is Alina Zagitova criticized, despite her successes in world figure skating?
– This is probably because all of his achievements came to him very early. In our country, it is customary to value work and production over many years. It’s a kind of national mentality. Alina managed to achieve success very quickly, causing confusion for some. It is difficult for many to understand that behind these achievements are years of hard work devoted to this process for sixteen years. She has accomplished a lot and it is no coincidence. However, some people may have preconceived notions and feelings of envy: she quickly achieved success in sports and in life. Even a small mistake on Zagitova’s part can cause waves of criticism, and people will talk about it in a negative context.
— Do you think that antipathy towards Alina Zagitova in sport is comparable to criticism towards Olga Buzova in show business?
— Olga became famous mainly thanks to her relationship with a famous football player, and then separation from him. Then people appeared who promoted his name. While Alina achieved her success through hard work and sweat. She will not follow such a path, will not go through the same trials and will not sacrifice her efforts and time to the same extent as Alina,” Chen noted in an interview with a Sport24 correspondent.
