Kostyleva’s mom about the jumping championship: “Lena could not win, she is not ready yet, after the injury. “
Figure skater Yelena Kostyleva’s mother called her a great athlete.
Kostyleva took third place at the Russian Jumping Championships. The victory was won by Margarita Bazyliuk.
“Lena could not win. She is not ready yet, we will prepare for next year. She is after an injury and she has the ninth day of competition in a row, yesterday at 10pm was the awarding ceremony.
But she’s a great athlete. We didn’t expect to be allowed to compete at all. Her health was so poor even as a child that it was a matter of life and death for her. But you have to fight and play sports – an example for all parents.
You want to ask me about Bazyluk’s yogurt? No? And thank God. Let that story remain on people’s conscience. It wasn’t a principled confrontation.
Am I emotional and out of control? I’ve done everything I can in my life – planted a tree, built a house, raised a daughter. And I have the right to say what I want.
If I see injustice, I say it, and not quietly in the kitchen, but to my eyes. There is a lot of injustice in the world of figure skating. If it were different, we would see a lot of talented girls and boys,” said Irina Kostyleva.
