Evil roc, or tears instead of doping

The successes of Russian athletes in Tokyo-2020 bring the Western media to white potenia. And we just cry. With joy

The great fighter Alexander Karelin, who failed to put in Sydney 2000 on the shoulder blades of the American Gardner and become a four-time Olympic champion, said: "The loser must be silent." But this is very difficult. Slow down. Especially when those who supposedly should sit. At home. Without a flag and anthem. I still waited for when, on our “white” athletes, they would begin to fade from all printed and unprintable guns. It didn’t have passed what is called, and weeks. The weeks that brought to Russian representatives, surprising on all Olympic fronts, about 40 medals.

The bad heat is given, first of all, American and British publications that again remind the whole world that the punishment of the Russians for old punctures is insignificant and funny. “Officially, Russia is not at these games, but 335 people wear a tricolor shape,” Usa Today is indignant. Journalists from the Canadian OTTAWA SUN are surprised that "how three hundred athletes in general could come to games from the country that was caught on doping." And Los Angeles Times is criticized by the International Olympic Committee, which has selected the anthem of the anthem, but let it in Tokyo “for the sake of good games”. The British are even more radical in assessments. The Daily Mail called the ROC white flag with the flame tongues “sacrifice sports ideals and rules”, and after the victory of our gymnasts in the all -around, the newspaper published a photo of the champions and photos of Vladimir Putin and suggested “giving them all gold for impudence”.

It is only worth adding to this that the Russians do not just win, but cross the path to American athletes. Who cannot be silent after the fins.

So, the swimmer Ryan Murphy, who blew up the brilliant Evgeny Rylov at a distance of 200 meters on his back, doubted the purity of the Russian. True, then he personally apologized to the two-time Olympic champion, who interrupted the 25-year-old hegemony of star-seated. But the slow British Luke Greenbank, who has been stating that in the country of Soviets there is state support for doping, against which no one is doing anything, ”did not bring apology. Like the American rowing Megan Kalmo, after the sensational performance of Elena Oryabinskaya and Vasilisa Stepanova, who said literally as follows: "It is disgusting to see how the crew, which should not be here, leaves silver." It is noteworthy that when our waterproofers lost to Americans 5:18, no “deceit” surfaced ...

I don’t know how you are, but personally, such a reaction only adds joy from victories by no means a neutral team. And I would like to send all the dissatisfied to CAS (a sports arbitration court in Lausanne), which determined a long time ago the measure of Russian sanctions.

But now, in any case, the time to get medals, not paying attention to criticism and politics. As our fighters did.

I will not hide, from the judokas that we loved to Putin’s presidency, we were waiting more. However, the bronze attempts of Madina Taymazova and Nyol Ilyasov, who were beating to death and gave free rein to the tears from the surging emotions, will be remembered, sure, for a long time. Like the mini-high-drive Tamerlana Bashaev, who in the quarter-finals filled one of the main stars of the entire Olympiad, the legendary Frenchman, the 11-fold world champion Teddy Riner, whose final victory no one doubted. True, Tamerlan’s strength was not enough for a gold storm in the future, but with the tatami he also went to the third line of the pedestal.

But a marvelous story was written by a team of fencers. And if the poetess Marina Tsvetaeva, who claimed that “sport was a waste of time on a waste of effort, and only his viewer can be below the athlete,” saw the dramatic battle of beautiful rapirists from Russia and France, then, probably, she would have changed the point of view. And she would compose Oda Martyanova, who, after her duels, could not step on her injured leg and received congratulations, sitting in a stroller. If the 22-year-old athlete, which was damaged by an ankle, refused to continue the duel with Polin Ranvier, the rivals would immediately ozol. But Martha, which began the spare tournament (!), Tied this battle, and spent the next two, fencing no less violently and, to the horror of the doctor, inflicting injections even in the twine. And she won a fresh rival in the end, which was released specifically for her. After such heroism, the debutant of games Larisa Korobeinikova and Inna Deriglazova could simply complete the common cause. And raise the golden March already.

It should also be noted Vitalina Batsarashkin, who won in Japan, like Yevgeny Rylov, three medals. When Dynamo honestly won the Korean Min Chon Kim and knocked out the second gold from 25 meters, I had to climb into reference books to find the answer to the question: “When did our snipers differ in a similar catch?” But such a miracle has not happened since 1992. And the Minister of Sports Oleg Matytsin announced that Vitalina, like all other winners of the games, will be presented to the state award. At the same time, one of the fans quickly calculated that the accuracy of Batsarashkina will cost the government 10.5 million rubles. However, the arrows have already brought seven awards at these games, and we will calculate the happy bonus expenses in a week.

After all, unplanned ROC medals and from onions, which are called, arrive, and are caught on the rowing channel. No one assumed that Elena Osipova, who took 22nd place in the qualification, only in the final, in the tie-broke, would not make San with the legendary Academy of Sciences. Disappointment will be replaced by admiration when you learn that in the personal championship our archers did not fall into silver since the Moscow Olympiad. Also, the experts in the academic rowing and that did not have a page on Wikipedia Anna Protabenena noted. She alone sipped a boat, repeating the success of the 40-year ago Antonina Makhina.

Not without pleasant surprises for us, a hot tennis tournament passed. Especially its male part. When Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal refused to participate, it seemed that nothing would prevent Novak Jokovic to take the title. But the Serbian curse does not disappear: in Rio-2016, Novak flew out in the starting round, and in Beijing 2008 and London 2012 lost in the semifinals. So this time, the first racket of the world slowed down a stone's throw from the dream, without making it with the German Alexander Zverev. Unfortunately, the second number of the rating Daniil Medvedev stumbled in the quarter -finals. But the partner was avenged by the Pioneer of the Olympiad Karen Khachanov, who was covered with the Spanish offender Dani Kareno-Busta. The result of the Sunday duel of the animals - we will find out Khachanov soon. As well as the result of the decisive battle in the mixt, in which the envy of the Americans, for the first time in 101 years, left without medals in tennis, two Russian duets came together - Elena Vesnina/Aslan Karatsev and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova/Andrei Rublev. Moreover, Lena and Asan in the semifinals were defeated by the same Djokovic and Nina Stoyanovich. But the most pleasant thing is that in any situation, one gold accurately received a Russian residence permit.

Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin would be very pleased.
