“Russia 24” apologized to skier Sergei Ustyugov

TV channel “Russia 24” live apologized to the skier Sergey Ustyugov for the fact that his image fell into the story of a biathlete Evgenia Ustyugov.

“Our channel was the first to switch to self-isolation mode in March. Until today, we maintain a mode of remote work, including for correspondents, leading subject headings, and editors. In such a large-scale and technologically complex process, annoying overlays are inevitable.

Last Friday on our air there was a material about biathlete Yevgeny Ustyugov, who revealed unique genetic features. The text from the house was written by a correspondent who could not personally control the installation process, the material was collected remotely.

Unfortunately, the video about the biathlete Ustyugov got the image of the two-time world champion in skiing Sergey Ustyugov.

On behalf of the staff of Russia 24, we apologize to Sergey, whose success on the ski slopes we proudly talk about in our issues. We wish Sergey Ustyugov new victories. We are always happy to see him on our air, ”the presenter of the channel“ Russia 24 ”said.

“Russia 24” mixed up Sergey and Evgeny Ustyugov. Sergey reacted angrily
