Russian 110m hurdles world champion Sergei Shubenkov commented on the statement of the Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslav Maguchy to Russian athletes.
Earlier, Maguchy said that Ukrainian athletes “have no more relations with Russians”, and also said that Maria Lasitskene, who wrote a letter to the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach, is not no longer his idol.
– Maguchikh says: “They (Russians) do not understand anything.” Does Maguchy understand how the world works at 20? If yes, then he is a good person. Masha Lasitskene is very worried about the situation of the special operation. She wrote a letter to Bach to do something. Although before that many letters had been written, many words had been spoken, including by me. But…
After the start of the special operation, an athlete from Ukraine, whom I saw several times at competitions, began to record video messages on the social network and tag many athletes, including me. She exactly told Ukrainian TV. That’s why I quit social media. Previously, I communicated with foreigners only during competitions, and then very superficially. So I can’t say whether their attitude towards me has changed, – Shubenkov quotes Metaratings.ru.
The IOC has recommended that federations remove Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in all international competitions related to events in Ukraine.
