Russia embarrassed itself with the "alternative Olympics" by highlighting the real level of the tournament

The Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation called the CIS Games one of the main starts for Russia in the season. The tournament is being held in Minsk from August 4 to 14. More than 2 thousand athletes representing 20 sports from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are participating in the tournament. Athletes representing Bahrain, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mongolia, Oman, Oman, UAE, Venezuela, Vietnam and Pakistan have also been invited.
"For many, such as the representatives of Russian athletics, who have not competed on the world stage for seven years, this international event is one of the very first. In some disciplines the generation has already changed, and now they have come to the international competition and are very excited. For Russia, this is one of the main starts in the sporting season," said Alexei Morozov, Deputy Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation.
The level of the competition, dubbed the "alternative Olympics," was ridiculed online. Users reminded the official that the day before the Russian national handball team won 76:1.
"Well, winners for life. Tremble, anti-Russia, Biden, reptiloids, Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all", "Winning against the nooneim and rejoice in it", "Empty words about an empty event," fans quipped.
Russian fans think Morozov's words are terrible.
Sports fans from the Russian Federation are wondering if this is the country's breakthrough that they keep hearing about on TV.
"It's extremely exciting. Especially that track and field athletics got access to competitions where young boys and girls born in 2009-2010 perform. And the strongest track and field athletes from Russia and Belarus are competing at... the Russian championship. But there were such pathos speeches yesterday that all the Western businessmen are jealous of us, purposely remove super-powerful competitors and other spitting from impotence," commented Internet users.
