“The results of the Olympic Games for the country are difficult to evaluate. We had individual athletes from different federations participate. Each of them tried to show the best result, but they were not the strongest participants. How can you evaluate something?
The only thing that made us happy was the medal that the girls won in tennis. But in general, what else can be evaluated? It was not a national team. We must list all the places occupied by our athletes – this will be the evaluation.
“For Russia, the main result is that if the situation is normal, we will be able to participate in the next Olympic Games. If a boycott was officially declared, the country would be forced to skip two Olympic cycles. Our guys fought for the future, for future athletes and for the country’s presence at these competitions,” Rodnina said in an interview with the Sport24 correspondent.
