Zhurova has been competing internationally since 1989,[2] took part in four Olympics, but did not win her first Olympic medal until her fourth Olympics, winning Olympic gold in Turin in 2006, two years after giving birth to a child. She also became Sprint World Champion in 2006. After her sporting career she became a politician and became Vice Speaker of the fifth State Duma as part of the ruling United Russia party.[3]
This is not surprising, as the Ukrainian diaspora has a very large influence in Canada. Therefore, Canadians will be the last after Ukraine to recognize Russian athletes at the Olympics. They are asking our athletes to refuse to support their native country, which raised them as athletes. Our state has a very great influence on the development of sports, and in the West there is no such support. They want to destroy the interaction between the state and sports in our country, which our ancestors built over the years.
