Here’s the translation of Evgenia’s comment made during her youtube show.
“Evgenia Medvedeva commented on the suspension of Russian athletes from compatitions, saying, “It didn’t specifically affect me, as I haven’t been in big sports for three years. In some ways, I even consider myself lucky that I finished at the right time, won, and started something else.”
She emphasized the impact on Russian athletes, saying, “Our athletes have lost the opportunity to showcase themselves. We’re not talking about money; there’s no talk of material compensation here. Professional athletes who devoted their lives selflessly, not for money.
Imagine you’ve dedicated 20 years of your life to becoming an Olympic champion, achieving top places at world championships… And then someone, an official at the International Olympic Committee, simply says, ‘You’re great, but I’m telling you – no.'”

Well, Zhenya…. when your country’s president gets out of Ukraine, and surrenders his position to Democracy, Russian athletes will of course be allowed in. Hopefully without TMZ on board also.
