Two-time world champion Yekaterina Gamova reacted to the scandal with the head coach of the Kaliningrad Lokomotiv Andrey Voronkov during the final match of the Women’s Super League.
The decisive meeting took place on May 12 and ended with the victory of Lokomotiv in five sets. During the time-out, Voronkov gave instructions to the players and pulled aside Valeria Zaitseva, addressing whom he said: “Why are you catching this monkey again?” The phrase hit the air “Match TV”. Uralochka-NTMK is represented by a dark-skinned Cuban player Ailama Sese Montalvo.
– Not a very pleasant situation. Still, we all live in the modern world and are brought up in the spirit of tolerance. You need to take care of yourself to some extent. I hope that some measures will be taken by the federation. I think it needs to be done. Let it be a reprimand, a fine. I think it would be masculine and right to apologize on the part of the coach, ”KP Sport quotes Gamova.
The All-Russian Volleyball Federation announced that the disciplinary commission of the organization will soon sort out the incident with Voronkov.
