Russia's victorious national fencing team held a media conference after returning to Moscow, Friday, from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Head coach Ilgar Mamedov was joined by medalists Sofia Velikaya, Aleksei Cherimisinov, Tatiana Logunova and Violetta Kolobova.
Ilgar Mamedov said the "the most important thing" about the team's success was "that now a boom for fencing started" and that "there has never been such a demand before." Bronze medallist Violetta Kolobova described a feeling "that the whole audience was ours" claiming that "if someone would try to hiss us like in the swimming, like Yulia Efimоva, he would be unable to do so because everybody was screaming."
In total, Russia's fencing team won four golds, one silver and two bronze medals.
