these are always great emotions, but some of them are much different than the sports ones. An example is the representation of Russia, in which – according to skeleton player Jelena Nikitina – there are numerous disputes between the players.
Russian skeleton player: “There is an internal war here”
– There is an internal war here. War between ours, in the frame that we have been hiding for a long time – she confessed in her report on Instagram. – That’s the worst thing that can happen to any athlete. […] I love my life so much and I will never worship this filth!
Yelena Anikina, head of the Russian Olympic Committee for international relations, commented on the bronze medalist of the Olympic Games in Sochi, who finished 12th on Saturday. – For me, this post is quite a surprise. There is no war. I think it’s just nerves and disappointment with my own results – replied Anikina in an interview with the German “Bild”.
The nervousness of the athletes competing under the Olympic Committee flag may increase after the continued turmoil around Kamia Walijewa. The 15-year-old RKO will win on Monday in Beijing in the competitive team competition. However, the medal ceremony has not yet taken place.
On Friday, the International Research Agency (ITA) confirmed that she had tested positive for doping tests in late December. It is not yet known what effect this will have on the 15-year-old’s performance in Beijing, but trimetazidine has been detected in her body.
– Trimetazidine has a similar mechanism of action to meldonium, which became popular a few years ago due to the positive result of anti-doping tests by Maria Sharapova. I do not hide that Poland contributes to the fact that trimetazidine was on the list of prohibited substances by the World Anti-Doping Agency () –
Nikitina herself was the hero of the Sochi 2014 doping scandal. The Russian was initially stripped of the bronze medal, but she appealed against this decision. In 2018, she was acquitted of the charges and the medal was finally in her possession.
