Russian female athletes Yulia Gushchina and Ksenia Ryzhova denied Western media reports that said that their kiss at the award ceremony of the 2013 Athletics World Championships in Moscow was an action to support sexual minorities.
"I did what everyone does on a pedestal," said Gushchina, having learned about the response of Western journalists to the photograph, on which the two athletes are shown kissing on a pedestal at Luzhniki stadium. According to her, the kiss was an expression of joy for the gold medal and nothing more.

” “I did what everyone does on a pedestal,”
I won the javelin in high school and never in my mind was to smooch another dude on the podium. That’s effing disgusting and I would get my ass kicked back at school.

They’re both beautiful. I’d be proud to be out with either of them on my arm.

In order to break the dead lock I think Laz needs to weigh in. If Laz would hit both of them then it's defiantly not guilty for Gushchina.

Guschina sorta looks like a bleach-blonde Rooney Mara.

Kiss another guy? Hell, I only shake their hands so they can reach their swords.

Looks like a kiss to the right of the lips.Yes. That's the way a lot of people, including my Serbian brother-in-law, do it. I, as an Anglo-Saxon, usually try to aim for the cheek.
