Olympic men’s champion Alexei Yagudin supported Russian ice dancing champion Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva by recording a provocative video, responding to people criticizing her for her changes in appearance, and making an inappropriate gesture with her middle finger.
“With shit that lets other people be rude on their page, that’s the only way!” – wrote the Olympic champion, who replied to one of the subscribers.
“One nasty bastard supports another,” Yagudin replied to another fan.
