– Madness and idiotic – VG


GETS REFS AFTER THIS: Kinetixx did not like that Alexander Bolshunov was on stage at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow with rhythmic gymnast Dina Averina and swimmer Yevgeny Rylov.

The German glove brand Kinetixx stopped the agreements with the Russians when Vladimir Putin went to war against Ukraine. Marketing manager Helmut Hanus is shocked that Aleksandr Bolshunov lined up for the celebration of the Crimean annexation.

Published:

– It was crazy and idiotic. I have no words. He has proven to be a supporter of Putin, and that is completely unacceptable. We completely distance ourselves from that, says Hanus, marketing manager for winter sports at Kinetixx.

Kinetixx had an agreement with the Russian Ski Federation for cross-country skiers and combined skiers, and a couple of biathletes. The agreement was terminated a few days after the war started. The same applies to the agreements the brand had with Belarusians.

Hanus reacts strongly to the statements of several Russian athletes. In particular, he shakes his head at the cross-country profile Bolshunov, who among several sports stars competed in the anniversary marking of the annexation of Crimean peninsula. Russian media have reported by 95,000 spectators were in place at the stadium and 100,000 outside.

– Bolshunov and others have supported Putin. Seeing them in the stadium during the propaganda show was completely impossible to accept. It is terribly sad to see, says Hanus.
