Guberniev advised gymnast Melnikova not to envy Russian football players
Sports journalist Dmitry Guberniev gave advice to Russian gymnast Angelina Melnikova, who was offended by the salaries of football players. His words are quoted by Match TV.
“Counting other people’s money is the last thing. Angelina is wrong, there is no need to be jealous, football players should receive a lot of money, because this is football,” Guberniev said. He believed that we should strive not only to play sports, but also to popularize it.
Earlier on December 19, Melnikova compared salaries in gymnastics and football. The athlete said that she was offended to earn less than football players.
Melnikova is the 2020 Olympic champion in the team all-around, the silver medalist of the Games in the same program event, as well as the winner of bronze medals in the individual competition and in floor exercises. At the world championship held in October 2021, the Russian woman became the absolute champion.
