Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko, who headed the 2014 Sochi Olympics Organizing Committee, said that world sport is unthinkable without Russia. The official is confident that all the international tournaments that took place in his country helped him gain "confidence and pride."
"10 years may seem like a short time, but it's already half a generation. And we see new athletes, new heroes who will win for the glory of Russia, no matter how much our enemies want to isolate us from sports. Because world sport is unthinkable without Russia. Russia is the largest sports power, and we will continue to give the world our victories," Chernyshenko said in an interview with TASS.
On the Internet, Russian fans ridiculed the pathos of their deputy prime minister.
"Russia is the greatest sports power, we will continue to give the world our victories ... over Belarusians," users mock.
Chernyshenko is pointed out that the level of world sport has not dropped since the start of the full-scale invasion and Russia's ban from international tournaments.
In addition, users ridicule his phrase "we will continue to give the world our victories."
