MOSCOW, July 7 with great power, it provided all the ways to train athletes under the sanctions, said the honored coach of Russia in synchronized swimming Tatyana Pokrovskaya. Earlier, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended sports federations not to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in competitions due to the situation in Ukraine, where the Russian military special operation began. «We recovered a little from this shock that was thrown into the sport. They say «sport, peace», and suddenly the accusations are such that it is very difficult to react. We, as women, cried a little, but we must pay tribute that the government headed by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, we have iron. We provided all the ways of preparation, which cheers us up. The World Championship (in water sports) passed, we watched, worried, sad. If you look at the first places, then there was a backlash ahead according to estimates, as if they left us a place,» Pokrovskaya said at a press conference.
