Coach of the Russian women's curling team Sergey Belanov told RIA Novosti that at the Olympics, Russian athletes felt a negative attitude towards themselves from foreign curlers. "Someone directly demonstratively showed his negative attitude, for example, before greeted, but now stopped," - recognized Belanov. At the same time the coach added that others, on the contrary, behaved very kindly and supported Russians. "For example, the team of Switzerland - we have never been particularly friendly with them. but here their skip directly spoke very warmly to us. Everything depends on people, "- summed up the coach of the Russian team. According to Belanov, both the players and he himself are disappointed with the results of the Games in Korea. "We are certainly disappointed with the result at the Olympics, we expected much more," he said.. According to Belanov, the team did not press their rivals, which was the reason for the failure.

The coach added that now the athletes are preparing for the World Cup. "There is anger and desire to be rehabilitated. I think this will help us, "Belanov emphasized.. The speech of Russian curlingists at the Olympics was overshadowed by a doping scandal. Alexander Krushelnytsky and his wife Anastasia Bryzgalova, who won a bronze medal in a double mix, were deprived of the awards by the decision of the Sports Arbitration Court, because the blood of Krushelnytsky was found in a prohibited preparation of meldonium.
