Winner and Laureate of Speed Skating World Cup Stages Artem Arefiev was unpleasantly surprised that people reacted this way to the messages of the Russian biathlete Valeria Vasnetsova during the 2022 Games, not realizing how difficult the path to the Olympic dream is.
Vasnetsova missed the Games due to the coronavirus. On February 3, Valeria complained on social media about the poor quality of food during the quarantine in Beijing.
– In Beijing, when we arrived at the Games, I learned that biathlete Valeria Vasnetsova had been admitted to a covid hospital there. Two positive PCRs and no symptoms. She stayed in the covid hospital, they fed her there worse than a dog, she wasn’t in the mood, the person was obviously in a depressed state. She did not have the chance to participate in the Olympics. For any athlete, this is terrible pain that cannot be expressed in words. And the devil made me click on the comments under this post. How toxic and disgusting comments were there, absolutely without empathy. As if a bunch of maniacs who otherwise morally destroy the girl, spread the rot further. They spread rot in words that I can’t even repeat, although I don’t usually get in my pocket for a word,” Arefyev told .
– The man was going to the Olympic dream and suddenly lost this chance. I was very surprised that people have absolutely no understanding of how difficult this road to the Olympics is and all they see are cars and prize money. The girl was preparing, she came to the Olympics, and because of two PCR tests she found herself in exactly the swamp in which everyone was afraid to be. And I wanted to explain what a sporting journey is in the form of a kind of dialogue, to tell how much all this is given,” he said, explaining why he decided to create his own video blog.
