Olympic champion in speed skating and State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova reacted to the refusal of the Australian authorities to allow the first racket of the world, Novak Djokovic, into the country. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
“It becomes very unpleasant for me when someone starts to show adherence to principles. Absolutely the wildest situation, ”said Zhurova.
The athlete also thought about whether to hold the Australian Open. “Competitions should be held exclusively on the basis of sports, and whoever has the vaccine is the champion?” – she noted.
On January 5, Djokovic was denied entry to Australia, as his visa does not imply the entry into it of data on the medical withdrawal from vaccination against COVID-19. The athlete planned to take part in the Australian Open, which will take place from January 17 to 30. The Australian authorities will make the final decision on his fate on 10 January.
