The long-awaited meeting and the most frank conversation of these Olympics.
The Olympic freestyle champion of Sochi, Anton Kushmir, gave his first interview after being unfairly thrown out by judges in qualification. The sportsman made a triple flip with four screws in the first attempt. The judges didn’t appreciate his jump and Anton Kushnir was the 11th. Although after this many freestylers and sportsmen admitted that Kushnir should have passed to the finals and his jump should have scored 126 points. During the second attempt, the Belarusian increased the difficulty and performed quite surely. But still, he took the 7th place by the assessments and didn’t pass to the finals. At that time, coaches and fans and Anton himself were discouraged.
The Belarusian Ski Union addressed the International Ski Federation with a complaint on the judges. Also, they asked to admit the sportsman to the finals. But the answer was negative. Anton Kushnir himself did not communicate with journalists after that. The correspondents of the TV news agency became the first to whom the Olympic champion gave an exclusive interview.
