Curler Krushelnitsky says he doesn’t want to play against foreign athletes who boycott matches with Russians

Double World Curling Champion Alexander Krushelnitsky told that he has no desire to play in international tournaments against foreign athletes who boycott matches with Russians.

At the Pyeongchang Olympics, Krushelnitsky and partner Anastasia Bryzgalova won bronze medals in the mixed doubles competition, but were stripped of them due to meldonium found in Krushelnitsky’s sample. Alexander’s four-year suspension expired in February 2022, after which he resumed his career. Bryzgalova ended her career as an athlete in 2020 and switched to training with the national team.

– We have always played and now we would like to, but not only politicians do not want our performances, but the athletes themselves do not want to play against Russians. This is a different problem. Some athletes also boycott matches with us. They say they won’t play with the Russians. So why should we want to play with them? – said Krushelnitsky “”.
