“This is the right decision. If in Paris they think that we cannot participate in the general celebration of sport, then we do not need them either! We must organize our own Games in parallel, where coaches and athletes can prove themselves.
These Summer Olympics are an example of a complete and global lack of culture! We once believed them, but they remained as impudent as they were. It is difficult to explain this to the younger generation, but the way we are treated in the West is goatish rudeness! They no longer know how and in what area to harm us. We must understand this, do without it and create our own celebration of life! — Laishev said in a conversation with a Sport24 correspondent.
