Russian skier Veronica Stepanova supported the decision of the president of the Russian Ski Federation Elena Vyalbe and Olympic champion Alexandra Legkova Be part of “Team Putin”.
Vyalbe and Legkov were on the list of people who supported the nomination of Vladimir Putin in the 2024 Russian presidential elections. Many other famous athletes have also joined “Team Putin”: Tatiana Navka, Evgeni Plushenko, Nikita Nagorny, Alexander Povetkin, Denis Lebedev, Jeff Monson and others.
— Elena Valeryevna Vyalbe and Alexander Legkov joined “Putin’s team.” Two notable skiers of our time. Vyalbe is a rare case of a great athlete who became a great leader. Those who have at least a little brain understand that the revival of Russian skiing is, first of all, its merit. Legkov has been our captain and informal leader for many years. It shows how one must work to win both on the ski slope and in life in modern conditions. These people saw in life both cabins and the most magnificent palaces. There is a rare breed of winning people who win in any competition. And now they openly support the president of the country. Because he is cut from the same cloth, he is a winner and he leads the country on the right path. I have traveled almost all of Europe, at least its most developed and richest regions. I have something to compare.
I am an athlete and at 22 my sporting career has only just begun. And all the benefits of my life depend only on the success of my performances on the ski slope, and not on the volume of my statements. But I will not do it and I will not remain silent now that the fate of Russia is being decided. This is the lot of the weak and the uncertain.
Today I am proud to be a skier, to have such senior leaders and comrades. And the fact that Russia has a president like Putin. We are right, we are stronger and we will definitely win! — wrote Stepanova on her Telegram channel.
The eighth presidential elections of the Russian Federation will take place in March 2024.
