Athletistic / Tennis. President of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation (VFKhG) Irina Viner commented on the words of Russia’s first racket, tennis player Daria Kasatkina. Earlier, Kasatkina reacted ironically to Viner’s comments about the “homeless team”, saying: “Homeless Daria says hello to you.”
“Kasatkina has the right to this, tennis players pay for themselves. But isn’t this a team of homeless people?! A team of refugees! If you don’t have a flag, an anthem, from homeland, who are you? ” Kasatkina, for example, will take first place and stand on the podium. In this case, which flag will be raised? Even if she takes first place, her name will still not appear in the medal rankings. And Russian fans won’t either. You are also not allowed to enter the stadium. How can you even tolerate such humiliation? – quotes Wiener telling Sport Express.
Daria Kasatkina now occupies 11th place in the WTA rankings. With a high probability, she will be able to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Russian athletes, according to the terms of the IOC, at the 2024 Olympic Games can only compete in individual neutral status, will not be allowed to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games and will also not have the right to use their national symbols.
