St. Petersburg, February 6, Taras Barabash. Three-time Olympic champion and State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina said that the situation around Ukrainian figure skaters, who did not pay tribute to the performance of the Russian Kamila Valieva in the Olympic team tournament, is not worthy of discussion. . After her performance, the Russian team became the leader of the competition. All the rivals stood up to applaud the athlete, except for the representatives of Ukraine. «This is not the main thing in sports, it sucks in sports, and everyone understands this very well. If they drive themselves into this position, good luck! Why don't we pay attention to the fact that all did the American team stand up and applaud Camila? I'm tired of hearing about Ukraine since 2014, especially at the Winter Olympics, where it is one of the weakest teams. We look back at the weak ones. We have so many victories, and we are worried about the team from tenth place, who was lucky enough to sit next to our team by lot. They are only because of this they fall into the focus of the lenses, «said Rodnina. The Russian team is leading after the second day of the team tournament, three points ahead of the second US team. The Ukrainian national team is on the last, 10th line. Medals in this type of program will be played on Monday.
