“Russian volleyball players could win the Olympics, the selection of players is simply incredible” – Fedorovtseva

Russian women’s volleyball team could win Paris Olympics, says Turkish Fenerbahce forward Arina Fedorovtseva on the air of the show “Above Olympus” on .

Russian volleyball players have been suspended from international tournaments due to the situation in Ukraine.

— Would Russia win gold at the Olympic Games if it went to Paris?

— It is quite possible, because the selection of players is simply incredible. If we had fully participated in all the tournaments of the Olympic season, I think we would have achieved what we have long wanted to achieve with the Russian team.

You can’t be very modest on stage. To achieve something, you have to know your worth. Plus, when you’re a player, it’s very emotional. And as I’ve realized myself in the last few years, you should go on stage as if you were just a god. You should feel that. Not compared to others. You have to have that feeling, and it helps you.

Of course, the Olympics are a special competition. And I really wanted to go to the Olympics in Paris, but it didn’t happen. I can say, I caught myself thinking a few days ago that the closer these Olympics get, the harder it is for me personally to get used to the idea that we won’t go, that we didn’t even have the opportunity to go there.

— Are you going to watch the Games?

– I’m not sure. I’ll probably look selectively at the most important ones.

I’m only 20, I can play for at least another 15 years. So I’m sure there will be a chance. [выступить на Играх]The only question is how soon,” Fedorovtseva said on the air of the program “Above Olympus Volleyball” on “”.

The Paris Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
