— What does Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht mean to you?
“She had a wonderful career.” Although in recent years she has not pleased us with her appearance so often, she showed excellent results when she came. I’m happy to have been able to be part of the team with her. I remember being 15-16 and watching her on TV. I wanted to be part of the national team, like her. When I joined the team, we went to training camps. I was delighted just to see her. I called her “you”. She asked me, “Why are you addressing me like that?” “I cannot address people by their first name, especially those I admire,” reports the correspondent of , reporting Kazakevich’s words.
