Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova spoke about how she acted in place of Russian rowers at the Paris Olympics on the show “Loud!” on .
Russians Zakhar Petrov and Alexey Korovashkov finished fourth in the 500-meter canoe double final. Russian athletes competed in Paris in a neutral status, without national symbols.
