“Sports journalism does not exist without athletes. If there are no athletes, there will be no sports journalism, we will not exist. To talk about this or that match?”
The most important thing we have is the heroes. And now we are losing heroes catastrophically because of the “There is a theme” program.
I did not speak about it publicly, but after Lena Rybakina won Wimbledon … I have known this girl for a very long time, that her father was the producer of NTV-Plus, that in television, the sports audience, we have always perceived it as our own. And, of course, we treat this victory with great sympathy.
Tartakova told how she took the scandalous exit from the program “There is a theme”
I failed to record an interview with Lena. I was in contact with her during the tournament, we had an agreement in principle, but the program “There is a theme” came out, in which, say, experts indirectly – and not even indirectly – accused her to be a sports prostitute.
I can’t guarantee exactly what that phrase sounded like, but the context was that if Kazakhstan is banned and he can’t compete under that country’s flag, will he change citizenship again? It was all very ugly.
And in this context, I have a task from my television channel. Everyone called me: Sonya, you have to record an interview with Elena Rybkina. I got a refusal from Lena. First from her team, then a week later she herself got in touch and said: nothing personal, but in relation to the whole situation – with the division of her citizenship, with the division of her title – the officers advised him not to communicate with reporters.
I think it was, among other things, due to the fact that our channel aired such a program, where she was accused of betraying her homeland”, quotes Tartakova sports.ru.
