The head coach of the Russian national team Lyudmila Bodniyeva in the interview to TASS told how her team continues to work in conditions of uncertainty.
— We don’t possess additional information, we draw it from open sources. There were encouraging signs last month, we are inspired by it, but at the same time we understand, that the situation is very difficult. We agreed among ourselves that if there is at least one chance of a hundred, that we would be allowed to qualify for the Games in Paris, we would work. I can’t evaluate the chances, but I’m encouraged by the fact that even in the situation of complete uncertainty the players are excited and are ready to wait.
Unfortunately, as a team we will definitely take a step back during the downtime. Although, I can’t say how we would look now like on the international arena now — it’s just like discussing, whether the cake is tasty or not on the picture, — Lyudmila Bodniyeva said in the interview to TASS.
