Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronique Stepanova In her column on , she wrote that in football, most people are interested in the tough decisions and injuries, not the game itself.
— Ask yourself, those who watched, what episode of the recent national summer biathlon championship did you most often watch in replays and online? Which one do you remember the most? It seems to me that Natasha Shevchenko fell into the penalty loop. Well, you remember me in the same row: that moment when in one of last year’s races they pumped me and carried me to the finish line.
Unfortunately, in motor racing, everyone is interested in accidents, and in football – in hard joints and injuries. I am afraid to see footballers rolling in pain on the pitch, doctors and stretchers. But I watch! Sometimes they show five minutes. And millions of other viewers watch TV all the time. Then, with my father in Kamchatka, a Zenit fan, we discussed: “Did you see how the ball hit Glushenkov’s hand? Horror, fracture, can you imagine?!”
“It may not be the best quality of human nature, but it is one of the oldest. I read that the most revered and popular Olympic champions of antiquity were those who won the most dangerous events: chariot races and martial arts. Everyone already knows about gladiators in Rome,” Stepanova wrote.
At the end of last season, Stepanova won the overall standings of the Russian Cup and also became the best in the long-distance running standings. At the end of the summer, the 23-year-old athlete posted a photo on social networks next to her crib and announced that she was about to become a mother and would therefore miss the upcoming season.
