State Duma Deputy Roman Teryushkov commented on the words of the honored figure skating coach of Russia Alexander Zhulin, advising the deputies not to open their mouths, urging athletes to boycott the Olympic Games.
Later Zhulina supported Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova.
“Tarasova, like Zhulin, puts the career of athletes above everything else. State interests do not interest them much, the main thing for them is titles and wages. They are typical representatives of world sports.
Before you open your mouth and advise the highest legislative body of the Russian Federation, the aunt of Alexei Tarasov, an ardent admirer of Navalny (included in the list of terrorists and extremists), and the Belarusian Maidan, which did not happen. American citizen Zhulin, the coach whistle needs to be postponed for 10 years.20 at least research the science of public administration.
Meanwhile, they only have enough competence to promote the deprivation of state sovereignty of Russia in the world sports arena, as required by the collective West. Russia does not need such business coaches, our country has always been based on patriots, ”says Teryushkov Metaratings.ru.
Recall that at the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a call to international sports federations and recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions.
At a meeting of the IOC executive committee on March 28, it was recommended to allow the Russians to have a neutral status, if the athletes were not actively engaged in supporting hostilities. Athletes representing law enforcement and armed forces, as well as representatives of team sports, will not be allowed to compete.
Sofia Velikaya, two-time Olympic champion in sword fencing statedThat Russian athletes are not allowed to participate in international competitions for fear of their high skill level.
