The International Olympic Committee (IOC) gave the world number 18 the opportunity to compete in the Olympic Games, but the 25-year-old Russian ultimately decided against it.
“I am sorry that Anna Kalinskaya is not participating. Someone dissuaded her from this idea. After Mirra Andreeva overtook her in the ranking after Roland Garros, Anna was very upset and could not go to the Olympics. But when everything became possible, she changed her mind. But I do not know who influenced her decision. In two weeks, her opinion has changed dramatically. She could demonstrate good results at the Olympics,” Tarpishchev was quoted as saying by TASS.
