Athletistic/ Others. Irina Rodnina reacted to the remarks of the deputy Roman Teryushkov, who proposed to equate the change of sports citizenship of the athletes of the Russian national team with high treason.

“I think this is another stupidity. As the Minister of Physical Culture and Sports of the Moscow region, he did not go beyond the TRP complex. And here about the national team Take Rybakina, who until 2018 was a Russian citizen, and now represents friendly Kazakhstan in treason?” Rodnina said.

Elena Rybakina changed sport citizenship in 2018. She became the first tennis player from Kazakhstan to win Wimbledon.
