I saw in the news of our athletes and their coach. They say, say, we do not hope for medals, what we will get, then okay, we would like to win something in Sochi, and now in the tenth we will enter, and then okay, and then, maybe we will not enter.
That is all, comrades! End of! The country selected them, sent them to the Olympics, entrusted them to defend the flag, promised to pay for medals. They say, “What we do, it’s fine! Simply words no more... Yeah, they should have been burning in the chamber with a burning eye, as they will all be throwing for the Motherland, for the honor of the flag! Say, if I don’t bring a medal, then in Canada I’ll shoot myself out of my biathlon rifle, so that I don’t feel ashamed! There is no snow, I’m out! I can even go on dirt, even on asphalt on skies! I’m a Russian, I’m scratching and clogging everybody along the way, even Björndalen – and it doesn’t matter that he’s in the male ranking, and I’m in the female! If necessary, I’ll even go skiing. And the coach should have noticed: say, if mys do not enter the piedestal, so I raise their legs, so that at the Paralympic Games exactly the medal was brought, fools! Skiing sticks to them in... I’m just shouting about the "first ten"..."
