Figure skater Alexander Galliamov told that after the announcement of the deprivation of team Olympic gold from the Russian national team in the team tournament, a telephone conversation took place with the participation of all skaters who took part in the 2022 Beijing Games.
Gallyamov, partnered with Anastasia Mishina, helped the Russian team win gold in the Olympics team tournament. Subsequently, the International Skating Union (ISU) deprived the Russians of victory based on the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the Kamila Valieva case. As a result, the Russian team should receive bronze. Mark Kondratyuk and the dance duo of Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov also performed at the 2022 Games.
— I had the feeling that you were the only one who decided to support the dynamics of this story on the Telegram channel in terms of support, motivation and others. Many simply remained silent.
— Not everyone decided to stay silent, some guys still said a few words. I will say this, after the news, that evening we had a conversation with the entire Olympic team. We all discussed how this happened and so on. We thanked each other for the time we stood side by side, supported each other and lived every moment. We remembered and appreciated this victory.
— Was the conversation positive, or maybe someone was depressed?
– No way, everything went well. No one felt terrible or depressed. And even if it did, we could support and encourage. Everyone’s reaction was completely normal.
—Did Valieva participate in this conversation?
– Was. I repeat, all the skaters of the team were present at this conversation,” Gallyamov told .
