In the United States, they intend to denigrate Russians in sports in which they were and remain leaders, Brusnikina believes.

President of the Russian Synchronized Swimming Federation Olga Brusnikina told that the latest US attack on Russian sport was aimed at denigrating representatives of key sports, in which our athletes are considered leaders.

On Monday, the press service of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reported that the United States is preparing a series of publications on doping abuses that have allegedly been discovered in Russian sports. It is noted that “the focus will be on sports in which Russia is traditionally strong – rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming and figure skating.” The project is being supervised by the former director of the Moscow anti-doping laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov and the deputy head of the laboratory Timofey Sobolevsky.

— We learned about it from the media, we don’t have detailed information. This is another attack. We don’t know why all this is necessary. How much more? We are completely excluded, at least in our sport, we were not even given a chance to qualify for the Olympics.

“There can be only one reason: to denigrate our representatives in sports in which Russian athletes were and remain leaders,” Brusnikina told .
