Sports journalist and commentator Dmitry Guberniev criticized the Chinese for delaying a flight with Russian Olympians. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
“The Chinese are loading luggage for a very long time and they don’t give a damn about the whole world,” the journalist said. He noted that the flight was delayed by more than four hours. All this time the passengers were on board the aircraft.
Figure skaters, including Olympic champion Anna Shcherbakova, and skiers, including Alexander Bolshunov, who won three gold medals in China, are returning to Russia on the “golden flight” from the Beijing Olympics. Also on board are the players of the hockey team, who became the silver medalists of the Games, and other members of the Russian delegation.
Olympians of the Russian team won 32 medals in Beijing, including six gold, 12 silver and 14 bronze medals. Thus, domestic athletes have updated their own national record at the Winter Olympics and surpassed the results of the Games in Sochi. Skiers brought the most medals to the team – they have 11 awards, figure skating is in second place with six awards, biathlon is third – four medals.
The Beijing Games ended on February 20. Domestic athletes competed under the auspices of the Russian Olympic Committee.
