So, yesterday Nick posted this interview of Gamova. And if you watch the Russian NT team special that Gottlib posted you will see Kirillova talking about something similiar. They are saying that Italians were saying bad thing about Russia and blah blah, especially they were talking about skyskrapers. But of all the interviews Italian girls had done, I haven't find anything. Then searching with google I've found an old declaration of Picci that has nothing to do with Russian NT.

Short fragment of Gamova's interview "Italians will pay for everything".
J. People say that before semifinal Italians were saying spiteful things to Italain mass media, calling you clumsy sky scrapers. Did it disturb you to play at full capacity?
Gamova: Indeed, those offences touched our girls. However, we were not offended, we just got angry with Italians. When emotions burst fourth it's difficult to concentrate on match. It's a pity we couldn't win. I'm sure that their trick will call out - it's not the last time we meet.
Now I'm really dissapointed of the Russian NT. I've found the famous skyskrapers declaration and it has nothing to do with Italian NT. Piccinini said that after the final of Champions League between Dinamo Moscow and Bergamo.

J = Battere la Dinamo Mosca di Gamova e Godina che vi avevano sconfitto ai Mondiali le ha fatto un effetto speciale?
Picci = "Devo confessare che vedere due grattacieli con la testa china mi ha fatto piacere, sembravano più bassine... Era una partita come un’altra, ma vincerla mi ha lasciato un buon sapore".
Translation:
J= Beating Dinamo Moscow of Gamova and Godina who beat you with NT at Worlds did a special effect to you?
Picci = I have to admit that seeing two skyskrapers with their head down is gratifing, because they seem shorter...It was a match as another one, but winning it leave me a good taste.
So, why Kirillova and Gamova lied, saying that it was Barazza that said these words, when in fact it was Piccinini, who was not even present at the European Championships. Plus Picinnini said this as a joke, because she is 20cm shorter. There was no offences to the Russian style of playing or "clumsy skyskrapers" as Gamova has said.
Why they are bringing this back after 6 months has passed and it has nothing to do with ECH??? And why she brings the excuses that this affected their game because they were so touched?
So dear Ekaterina Gamova :beee: :beee: :beee:
SO LAME!!!!!
