Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronique Stepanova on the air of the program “Loud!” on the channel spoke about the performances of Russian athletes at the last Summer Olympic Games in Paris in neutral status.
Russian trampoline player Angela Bladtseva took fifth place in the individual competitions at the 2024 Olympic Games. Russians Zakhar Petrov And Alexei Korovachkov came fourth in the 500-metre double canoe final.
— Can you imagine what an invaluable experience this is? For Bladtseva, or how the rowers blossomed after their fourth place at the Games. You have to go and hit, it’s an experience.
– Well, what an experience if Angela Bladtseva says after the Olympics, answering a question about her health: “Now I feel good, I have to let go of the situation and move on.” Bladtseva speaks about her participation in the Games as a neutral, but she describes it as if she had experienced a trauma.
Why did she go there? Commercial face [рядом] With [главой МОК Томасом] Bach? If you know what I mean. Or for Guberniev to tell the whole country that she got a proud fifth place in the final?
Or the same rowers, Zakhar Petrov and Alexei Korovachkov… An offensive, but proud fourth place. So what? It’s fourth place, it’s not a medal.
– It’s about the same as if a person were to finish fourth at the Olympics while racing on wooden skis or classics in a speed skating race. Would he be a hero? Of course, I lose 0.1 seconds!
“I wouldn’t even decide to play on anything other than my own equipment.” Give me Therese Johaug’s skis, I’ll take 30th place, because the equipment is not made for me. The rowers were given different boats, they had to constantly adjust their direction, etc. Everything was against them, but there was no medal! 0.1 seconds ago [от третьего места]”But it’s not a medal,” Stepanova said on .
Russian athletes competed in Paris in a neutral status, without national symbols.
