KAZAN, July 17, Adela Ziatdinova. Two-time Olympic champion in Alexander Kozhevnikov, a member of the USSR national hockey team, said that Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova has the right to her opinion and it is a normal desire for her to watch the Games in Paris.
Previously, Tarasova, in an interview with Sport24, called the refusal of Russian TV channels to show the Olympics in Paris a punishment for her own people.
«»It's her business, she has her own opinion, like any person. She spoke out, some get published, some don't, she said so and she got published. What's surprising here? It's normal for her what she wants watch the Olympics, let him watch,” Kozhevnikov said.
“I won’t watch these Olympic Games, they’re not interesting to me without our team. To endure humiliation and also pay money for it is human nonsense, it’s better to let them participate in children’s sports,” Kozhevnikov noted.
The Olympic Games will be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
