Head Coach of the Russian National Synchronized Swimming Team Tatiana Pokrovskaya said that many Russian athletes were missing from the World Swimming Championships, which took place in Hungary.
– Many countries (at the World Cup – approx. ed.) rejoiced (with the elimination of Russia). We gained one place, two places, Belarus did not participate either. We also have our own intelligence, we are women. But some say the Russians are clearly not enough. There are also attacks from the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, which upsets me. I taught him, I’m not afraid to say. She doesn’t like to remember it, but they went to school. All his attacks are bad, that we should have come back from Crimea… It’s ugly. There is sports. And at the Friendship Games we will prove (our level),” Pokrovskaya told a press conference.
The first stage of the international competitions “Friendship Games” will be held in Kazan from July 19 to August 3. More than 1100 athletes will participate.
