Coach Elena Buyanova said that she do not understand the decision not to send Anna Anna Pogorilaya at the World Team Championship in Tokyo. Russia will present at the tournament Yevgenia Medvedeva and Elena Radionova. - I do not understand the federation decision about the composition of the team at the World Cup - leads the "R-Sport" Buyanova words. - Anya in the course of the year brings the country a medal, performed at all important international tournaments and has always been in the prize-winners, except for the World Cup. Team Championship brings the season, and it manifested itself in that cycle, and I believe that Anna deserves to represent Russia at the tournament. Therefore, I do not understand the step taken by FFKKR not to include it in the team , and so far I have not heard an explanation about it. Emotional breakdowns and unsuccessful performances are all of our athletes, not only Anna Pogorilaya. The more these emotions going wild at the world championships absolutely everyone.
