Russian players advised to keep off social media

Olympic athletes from Russia have been recommended to spend less time on social networks during the Winter Games here to avoid provocation, the head of the Russian delegation Stanislav Pozdnyakov told reporters yesterday.


"First of all, I would like to say that all these about-sport conversations do not bring anything good. It does not contribute unity into the team, it does not bring anything good to our athletes who now need support. Such talks play directly into the hands of our rivals. We tell the guys to spend less time on social networks," the sport official said.
