Olympic champion in speed skating, deputy of the State Duma Svetlana Zhurova responded to the words of a parliamentary colleague Roman Teryushkova to the first racket in the world Daniel Medvedev .
Earlier, Teryushkov said he didn’t understand why Medvedev, who plays under a neutral flag and lives in France, is considered a Russian tennis player.
For some reason, it suited everyone that tennis players had been training abroad since childhood. This happened, firstly, due to the fact that in winter in Russia it is impossible to play on open grounds. Many were forced to leave for other countries. Second, early stage tennis is not an amateur sport.
In Russia, tennis is practically not funded by the state, if you do not take into account children’s and youth sports. Such a system in this form has long existed in the country, and it is stupid to blame the guys for fleeing to the West. Otherwise, we simply wouldn’t have tennis and all the victories. People have no other choice, quotes RT Zhurova.
