The Russian skater Nikita Katsalapov, who performed in ice dancing with Victoria Sinitsina, spoke about the results of the command tournament of the Olympic Games-2022. It is quoted by TASS.
Katsalapov said he continues to consider himself an Olympic champion, adding that this gold medal could not be pulled out of the heart. According to him, the Russian team was the strongest team and did everything to win.
“I threw off my thoughts about whether I am waiting for bronze or not, for me there is only one medal. I have a large tube at home, in which the Golden Olympic letter, signed by the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It wrote our names and it is said that we are Olympic champions. That’s all, ”the skater summed up.
The medals of the team tournament were redistributed due to the disqualification and cancellation of the results of the Russian Kamila Valieva. The Russian team moved from the first to the third line. All appeals in the case were rejected.
On August 7, 2024, in Paris, during the Summer Olympics, a awarding ceremony was held following the results of the team of games in Beijing. Gold medals were presented with the US team, silver – a team of Japan. The event took place without the Russian team, but they promised to deliver awards later in the IOC.
