Synchronist Alexander Maltsev on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on the channel, he said that he had already encountered negativity in his speech due to the fact that initially only women were involved in the sport.
— There was bullying in my direction. When I started, the sport was (exclusively) female until 2015. In the face of negative statements, but when it started winning medals, opinion changed. Basically, the pool athletes expressed negative things to me, they said skeptical things. From now on the sport has become mixed and will develop in this direction. My attitude towards LGBT values? Calm, – said Maltsev.
Maltsev is quadruple world champion, six-time European champion. At the 2022 Russian Championships, Maltsev, together with Olesya Platonova, became the best in the mixed duets competition and won the technical duet program with Maya Gurbanberdieva.
