Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova In her column on , she wrote that American boxer Muhammad Ali’s comments about bragging were among her favorites.
— Elena Valeryevna Vyalbe told a wonderful story: about 30 years ago there was a very strong Soviet/Russian skier who used to, in the starting city, before the race, say out loud to everyone its main competitors: “Here, I’m going to throw you a minute today! Sometimes she threw, sometimes she didn’t, but she didn’t. What and where they ran there has long been forgotten, but his boast remains in the memory.
By the way, another quote, one of my favorites: “This is not bragging, but a forecast, if you can then confirm the words.” Mohammed Ali said it.
He and the skier performed in an era before social media – now their words were quoted before, after and during. With an army of fans and haters,” Stepanova wrote.
