Reztsova died on October 19 at the age of 58.
— I just found out, sad news. This is an irreparable loss, I express my condolences. Anfisa Anatolyevna was an active person, participated in all major competitions and won everywhere. Our generation grew up with his victories, we watched his races and were motivated.
She has done a lot for Russian sport. I have always treated Reztsova with respect, even if some unpleasant statements were made to me. I accepted his position and after the devastating words addressed to me, I had to think about it,” Legkov told .
