Nina Vitrichenko's Quote

"Anya Bessonova is a perspective gymnast, but she lacks competition experience. About Tamara Erofeeva I think she should have higher results at her age...About the performances of Lena... The Russian and Belorussian coaches are scared of Vitrichenko and that is why they do everything possible to prevent her from participating in the Olympic Games. After her victory at the worlds in 1997 we composed her new program very carefully after an exhausting search. Lena matured, all her compositions became feminine and inspired, they are liked by the audience. But you see what happens now...If it were not for the incorrect judging, Lena would have entered the first places!"
