Three-time Olympic champion Yulia Chepalova told that the statements of the president of the Russian Ski Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe The situation of students at Spartakiad is unacceptable and his comments offend parents whose children have gotten into trouble.
On Friday, during the women’s race from the general start in the village of Estosadok (Krasnodar Territory), several skiers were injured as a result of a collapse. In total, 14 skiers failed to finish on the Laura slope. Chepalova’s daughter, Vasilina Rocheva, also took part in the race and finished 54th.
— What was your reaction to Elena Vyalbe’s first words that nothing bad had happened?
– I don’t accept that. We have entrusted our minor children to you. You should have offered them normal conditions. How can you approach competition so carelessly? What should a girl with head trauma do now? This could be the end of his career. What about the girl who has multiple broken arms? It is not a fact that she will continue to skate normally. Elena Valerievna must answer her parents about what happened. And there is no need to speak so harshly.
—Did his words offend all the parents?
– Without a doubt.
— Do you think the people involved in what happened should leave their positions?
– Let them figure this out for themselves. I shouldn’t say which of them should leave and which should not.
—Is order necessary in the federation?
– Necessary, of course. If they bring him in, I will only be happy,” Chepalova told .
