— These Olympic Games do not arouse interest among Russians?
— There is interest in the Olympics, despite the lack of broadcasts. If this had been demonstrated, the interest would have been much higher. As a fan, I miss the broadcasts and would love to watch the competition. Reactions to events can be different, and we know how it happens sometimes: “I haven’t read Pasternak, but I condemn him.” So there is nothing wrong with that.
But we must not forget that in Russia there are many people who are really interested in sports, the Olympic movement and the performances of our athletes and those from abroad,” Guberniev told SE.
