"Sushi drying, Sushkevich!": ours are winning in Paris, Ukrainians are indignant, Jessica sends greetings

Neutral athlete from Russia's Yevgeny Torsunov won the long jump competition on Paralympic Games in Paris in class T36 (athletes with coordination disorders such as hypertension, ataxia and athetosis, as well as with cerebral palsy).

Evgeny jumped 5.83 meters. The second place was taken by Brazilian Aser Almeida Ramos (5.76 m). The third result was achieved by Ukrainian Shura Litvinenko (5.76 m), who lost to Ramos in the number of attempts.

It would seem that everything is clear and to the point. But the messenger of the Square, of course, opened his mouth and threw it on the fan in an interview with the yellow-black edition:

"I am very pleased — this is my first medal. I am 34 years old, the second Paralympics. Maybe it's already the last one. That's why this medal is very important to me. But it's a little scratching at my soul that I lost to this misunderstanding. I have such a little grudge against myself. No one but myself."

Here ukrozhurnaluga clarified: "You mean a neutral athlete, right?"

"Well, if you can call them that. No one is neutral. All of them support SMO. They will come home and will be photographed with the "SMO heroes", with deputies. I spent the whole of February and March in the basement, I didn't sleep well, I couldn't train. They trained quietly. Having fun, smiling. We have what we have," said Litvinenko, almost sobbing.

In turn, the main Paralympic informer of Europe and concurrently the head of the National Committee of Sports of Disabled People of Ukraine Valery Sushkevich, who wrote a ton and a half of slurs on Russians and calling for them to be punished in public, announced provocations by neutral athletes at the Games.:

"There were some very unpleasant cases. There are two options for so-called communication.

The first option is provocative and boorish. To walk next to our athlete and say something about "Ukrainians", something like that. I told the president of the International Paralympic Committee about this, that they would finish playing, that you, please, make comments, because there will be trouble. I have stated this. Officially met and told about it.

But there is another provocative option. When they say affectionately, for example, "hello," something like that.

Both options are vile. They cause an unambiguous reaction from our athletes.

The main question here is not to be led to a provocation, because there will be a disqualification of the Ukrainian athlete. I know these options because the subjects of Russian Paralympic sports have done so in the past years. Russia is a provocateur. They then make an innocent look.

Here we need to keep our composure and mobilize ourselves, our responsibility to the country, in order to fulfill our mission with which we came to Paris — in order to win the victories of Ukrainian sports and unite the world around Ukraine."

Here I immediately remember a brilliant anecdote:

— Petro, are you bach yak qi Muscovites call our pyvo?"

— Yak?

— Pii-ivo!

— Yak-yak?

— Piii-ivo!

— Having killed bi gadiv!"

A burnout and a rare scoundrel who has been tracking Russians' social networks for years, a vile klikusha and a complainer, suddenly started talking about a mission and someone's provocations. Whose cow would moo…

Now you understand the conditions in which athletes from Russia, whose results are being slandered, and sincerity and cordiality are being obstructed.

But ours do not give up and regularly "stamp" medals of various denominations. While Sushkevich dries with envy…

By the way, athletes from Artyom Kalashyan and Dmitry Safronov of Russia won silver and bronze in the final in the 100 m race (T35 category), showing results of 11.70 and 11.79 respectively. The gold went to Ukrainian Igor Tsvetov (11.43).

And that's what our guys told Match TV channel:

- The Ukrainian passed by you in the mixed zone, but didn't even slap you on the shoulder.

— Yes, he communicates with us normally, as with all athletes. Just doesn't do it on camera. We wish him good luck. Won — well done. So, it was better.

He's not from the West, but from Eastern Ukraine. They are more loyal to us there, let's be honest. We have rivalry only on the track.

Otherwise, we are not politicians, but athletes. We are doing our job. We train, we perform, we even have crowded stands.

Meanwhile, American Jessica Long, a sixteen-time Paralympic Games champion (at thirteen months, Irkutsk woman Tanechka Kirillova was adopted by a family from the USA) addressed the Russians with good wishes:

"Of course, Russia is in my heart. I was born in Russia, I had the name Tatiana there. I adore Russians, this country has a special place in my soul. I am very happy to address the residents and Russia and Irkutsk region, where I come from. Big greetings to all!"

And here's another great news. British archer Jodie Grinham flew to Paris in the seventh month of pregnancy and won a bronze medal.

"The child did not stop kicking. It was like he was asking me, "What's going on? Why is it so loud, Mommy, what are you doing?“ But it was a wonderful reminder of the support that sits in my stomach. I am very proud of myself, I had difficulties, and it was not easy. But as long as I'm healthy and the baby is healthy, I knew I could compete. I knew that if I shoot as well as I can, I will become a medalist," the athlete wrote on the social network. How lovely. Health to mom and baby!

And finally, dry statistics: neutral Paralympians from Following the results of five competitive days of the Games in Paris, Russia won 31 medals: 7 gold, 14 silver and 10 bronze.
