Athletistic/Tennis. Former world ninth tennis player Andrei Chesnokov commented on the statements of the President of the Republic of China Stanislav Pozdnyakov, who called tennis players wishing to participate in the 2024 Olympics a “team of foreign agents”. Pozdniakov expressed solidarity with the president of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation (VFHG) Irina Viner, who called neutral athletes a “homeless team.”

“It’s funny to hear such statements. If so, then his daughter Sofia should give up her Olympic gold medals in Tokyo. Or Pozdnyakov himself should urge her to return the awards. So why go to the Olympics? After all, they played there without an anthem or flag. I just don’t understand why you should talk that way. Personally, I’m proud if someone goes, and if they also wins a medal, it will be great. These athletes are the They are proud of our country. They have worked for many years to have this chance, and now they come and say that it is a shame to go to the Olympics. I don’t understand that,” Chesnokov said, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
