Russian synchronized swimmer Vlada Chigireva, in an interview with Lente.ru, explained her refusal to publish candid photos on the Internet.
“I was filming in lacy lingerie, but I didn’t expose these photos anywhere. Maybe when I’m finished with sports, I’ll put it up. I know that many athletes starred in Maxim, and it looked restrained and decent, but I can imagine how much you need to listen to the negative after that … ”- said the athlete.
The Olympic champion explained that this is not a question of self-censorship. “No, if not for public opinion, I would have posted it. In general, I am a connoisseur of the female body. Not because I like girls, but because it is really very beautiful. I understand why artists want to work with this, why so many films have been shot about the beauty of women, and music has been written. When they attack me, that I turned my back in a swimsuit, I want to answer: so what? ” – added Chigireva.
In addition, the synchronized swimmer explained the frankness of the swimwear for the performances. “For us, the most important thing in a swimsuit is that it is light, so there is little fabric. Well, you can’t do without a net – you can’t sew beautifully, ”said the athlete.
Chigireva is the winner of the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games. She performs as part of a group. She also has 11 gold medals in the World Championship and four in the European Championship.
