Olga Brusnikina, President of the Russian Synchronized Swimming Federation, RIA News He noted the need for restrictions when choosing music for sporting events.
“There were different situations regarding music in synchronized swimming. At the last Olympics, it was suggested that one of the duets remove lyrics from a song that seemed offensive to another country. There was a case when the team took music from the movie “Schindler’s List”. It was also suggested that they change the music because it evoked certain associations,” Brusnikina noted.
He believes there should be “reasonable restrictions” on music in sport, but that these should not be linked to people’s prejudices. According to Brusnikina, tracks containing offensive lyrics or music that encourages aggressive actions should be banned. The FSP President believes that sports should, above all, bring positive emotions.
