Playing for Kazakhstan, hailing from Moscow Elena Rybakina acted correctly when she did not point out the connection with Russia, because it could become grounds for sanctions against the tennis player, says the ex-president of Spartak Moscow Andrei Chervichenko .
Rybakina on Saturday in the Wimbledon final was beaten by Ons Zhaber of Tunisia. The 23-year-old tennis player represented Russia until 2018.
– Could sanctions be followed against Rybakina if she said that she felt Russian and that Russia was her homeland?
You know, you can expect anything from these guys. If she said that, there might be lawyers and demons who would start challenging this victory. There are a lot of twists. Remember that winning such a tournament brings a lot of money. And if they have at least a chance of taking that money from the child, then they will. Rybakina very skillfully and beautifully answered questions from journalists, Chervichenko said on the show “There is a theme!” on MatchTV.
According to Chervichenko, there is no need to share Rybakina’s victory between Russia and Kazakhstan. The main thing about this success is that the Russian tennis player managed to win the tournament, which prohibited the participation of Russian athletes.
– Well, you know, God marks the thief, but everyone knows the expression “We are Russians. God with us!” And this time he was with us, even under the cover of the flag and passport of Kazakhstan. To be honest, sharing this victory between Kazakhstan and Russia, in my opinion, is a thankless task. Because that it is partly the merit of Russia, especially since she started here, and, of course, Kazakhstan also helped her. Although, in my opinion, the tennis players themselves are the creators of their careers.
If we look at Rybakina’s passport and her visits to Kazakhstan and Russia, we may be surprised. After all, everyone understands that tennis players spend most of their time away from home, and especially in countries where they are tax residents.
Interestingly, Serbs and Russians won at Wimbledon, say, with a Kazakh passport. This means that the Orthodox have won. Once again they clicked the nose of the British scum,” added Chervichenko.
