Vyacheslav Kharkov, the father of former Russian national water polo player Konstantin Kharkov, spoke about his emotions during his son’s performance at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Kharkov participated in the 2024 Games as part of the Croatian national team, which lost to the Serbian team in the final of the Olympic tournament on Sunday (11:13). Kharkov changed its sports citizenship in 2021.
— Emotions, of course, overflowed, but that’s sport.
— The Serbs have formed a team in this cycle. The Croats are the current world champions. Doesn’t that make it more offensive?
– Anyway, there are no weak opponents in the final, there is always a part of luck too. Croatia had difficult games, Serbia played only one difficult game against their opponents before the final – against the Greeks. That also played a role. There are many factors here, this is sport.
— Kostya said that, of course, I would like to play in Los Angeles?
– Yes, we hope so. The main problem here is health.
— When you watch your son’s game, are you a dad or a coach?
– Dad, of course.
— Dad upset right now.
– Of course, I wanted gold. But it doesn’t matter, it’s a sport, and defeats are part of sport. There is something to work on, something to learn. Tomorrow everything will be forgotten, there will be an ordinary working reality, “Vyacheslav Kharkov told .
The Olympic Games in the French capital will end on Sunday, August 11.
