Today I am proud to receive such an honor from the President of our country. Thank you so much for raising the country flag! And sure not to let this gold medal go“Veronica Stepanova before Vladimir Putin.
Severe reaction after the speech of Alexander Tolkopolov, Veronica Stepanova

”So Olympic champion Veronica Stepanova has said, “Russia is on the right track and we will definitely win like we did in the Olympics.” It was as if Russian athletes had nothing to do with politics, as if they were innocent. Yes definitely! Message from the former tennis player, referring to the arguments put forward by those who took a stand against the sanctions imposed on Russian athletes due to the war.
