The reason for this decision of the Ukrainian "

Svetlana Saidova, the coach of the Blue-and-Yellows, told about this in an interview with Obozrevatel..

On June 19, the Ukrainian team did not participate in the qualification of the competition of technical groups. It was the same program that was first staged under Tchaikovsky. However, just a couple of months before the 2022 World Cup, Saidova took a chance and changed the program of the bronze medalists of the 2020 Olympics so as not to glorify the invaders.

" But due to the fact that these mutants broke into our country, I don’t even want to hear about everything Russian, even if it’s Tchaikovsky and world heritage. Where to glorify the occupiers,"

The mentor found another music, under which she made a new program, which the girls have recently been practicing, among which there are many newcomers. After all, after the Olympic Games 2020, five experienced athletes ended their careers at once. Before the start in Budapest, Saidova decided that the production was not perfect, because the Ukrainians had to withdraw from the World Championships in this form..

" It's almost impossible in two months.. But nothing. If we have time - we will perform, no - then I’ll just remove this program.

And that's it,"

Ukraine already has three medals at the 2022 FINA World Championships. Earlier, Marta Fedina won silver in the technical solo, sisters Marina and Vladislava Alekseev won silver in the technical duet, and the Ukrainian team won the free combination competition, where our country was represented by ten athletes.

Earlier, TSN Prosport reported that Ukrainian Victoria Uss won a historical medal for our country at the World Cup in extreme slalom.
