— Did you hope until the last moment that Kamila would be acquitted?
– Yes, I believed in it until the end.
— When you heard the verdict, did you feel devastated?
– No, there was no devastation. If I was devastated every time after such decisions, I would not have been able to bear it a long time ago. People who make such decisions do not understand what it means for an athlete to lose his profession, because they do not occupy the same position as the management.
— You were one of the few who did not criticize the Americans during the scandal. Many thought they had framed Camila.
“We ourselves are responsible for this situation.” I didn’t know what the others were saying. I was simply expressing my point of view, based on many years of experience. What do the Americans have to do with it? What have they done?
— Some thought Camila’s disqualification was unfair.
— I have not heard such an opinion. It was clear that Valieva would be disqualified. This was the only possible punishment.
“There are more questions than answers in his case.”
“I don’t want to delve into this because I don’t know all the details.” What happened happened.
- The ISU congratulated the United States and Japan for receiving medals at the 2022 Olympics and ignored Russia.
