I took this news with a certain amount of sarcasm. By the way, I’m number three on this list. This figure haunts me all my life, I won two Olympics under this number, my daughter was born on the third day, now they have also been added to the list … You can smile and laugh about this, but in this situation, I pity the Ukrainian athletes. They’re not having the funniest times right now. With such leadership that doesn’t know what else to do with anger and hatred for everything around it. They made stupid lists… They are unlikely to influence anyone. All on this list are self-reliant individuals who have worked, and will continue to work, for the benefit of the country and the sport. He smiled and got to work.
– When was the last time you went to Ukraine? Do you plan to visit the country again?

In fact, I liked Transcarpathia, I trained there at a sports boarding school, being a novice athlete. There are very beautiful places, the nature is beautiful and there were nice people who did not face politics at that time,” Vasiliev told .
