Dmitry Vasilyev, a two-time Olympic champion, insulted Czech authorities, who the day before had banned entry to the country for athletes from Russia. The former biathlete accused Europeans of harming the aggressor country, for which the West must be held responsible and punished.

Vasilyev said this in a commentary for the propaganda news agency R-Sport. Calling the Czechs flawed people, he then absurdly expressed confidence that Ukraine's neighbors would surely "want to be friends with us again," but it would be up to the Russians to decide on this matter.

"They can be diagnosed as insane. Right now in their anger they don't even understand how to bite us even harder, to hurt us. But it is all useless, anyway, the moment will come when they want to be friends with us again. And how will they be responsible for the actions they are now taking? I pity them - they are flawed and unhappy people. They are simply disconnected from reality. They need to evaluate their actions and understand what harm they have done to the sports movement. First there must be an assessment, and then we have to make a decision, whether to participate or not," said the Olympic champion.

Note that on June 30, Russian hockey player Maxim S. was arrested in Poland and accused of participating in an organized criminal group and working for foreign intelligence. Because of this, two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov called Poles bastards.

As reported by OBOZREVATEL, four-time Olympic biathlete Alexander Tikhonov hysterically accused dictator Vladimir Putin that Russia is "mocked by the whole planet."
