Olympic Games champion Melnikova assessed the food at the sports center with the phrase “there is nothing to eat”
Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Angelina Melnikova on Instagram (the social network is prohibited in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned) spoke about the living conditions at the Krugloye Lake base.
Melnikova complained about the food during the training camp and assessed it with the phrases “there is nothing to eat” and “you have to survive on vegetables.” According to the athlete, during the pandemic the quality and variety of food has dropped significantly. “Sad, sad, bring it back,” she added.
Earlier, the Olympic champion compared salaries in gymnastics and football. Melnikova 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.
