The Olympics will open in Rio de Janeiro today.

On the eve of the long-awaited competition, Dni. Ru asked famous singers, actors and presenters three urgent questions: "Will you watch the Olympics?", "What kind of sport is your favorite?" and "What do you think about the doping scandal?"

Rodion Gazmanov, singer, son of Oleg Gazmanov

Of course, I am worried about our athletes, I wish them victory. I will be sick, I will watch what is happening. I have such a wild schedule now, so I can’t guess what I will watch. I will watch something in reruns. Competitions, where ours will win, I will definitely review.

It is clear that when it comes to world records, these are not only sports competitions, but also pharmaceutical ones. Unfortunately, this is part of the Olympics, part of professional sports. I've seen girls from the American women's rugby team who look more like men than most men. Remember, there was a picture - one of the Williams sisters with pumped up muscles and our thin, graceful Sharapova. Under Sharapova's signature: "Meldonius", under Williams - "Muesli".

Of course, it is very sad that professional athletes have to take medications, but they have to keep afloat. Therefore, to say that we have doping, and they do not, is pure pharisaism. My dad is also actively involved in sports, but I know for sure that he does not take doping. His dope is music. I have enough for morning exercises and evening jogging, which, in general, is also good. But you shouldn't confuse sports to keep fit with professional sports, where people work hard, where the athlete takes drugs to run two tenths of a second faster than the competitors."

Dima Bilan, singer

I will probably turn on the TV - I really want to see familiar places (this year the artist took part in the Olympic torch relay. - Ed.). Rio is a really amazing city, so I will still turn into a spectator, although the TV takes only 5 % of my time. What specific competitions I will watch, I can’t say yet. I love water sports, but in general, everyone is a little interesting. I will get acquainted with the general mood, how bright, interesting, emotionally it is.

I cannot comment on the doping scandal - I think it would be wrong. I was in Rio on a mission, no matter how loud it sounds. He represented our country as a torchbearer and supported Russian athletes."

Viktor Sukhorukov, actor

“I cannot ignore a world-class event in which my country is participating. Moreover, I will root for our team, because I witnessed that outrage, that inquisitorial torture that our athletes have been subjected to in recent weeks and months. Moreover, this persecution was sophisticated - in costumes, with exquisite manners. Healthy and talented people would not participate in this, would not attack such a serious country as Russia. Therefore, it is to spite them that I will watch, applaud, admire the success of our team. look at team sports, where both human and anti-human traits are most evident."

Yuri Loza, singer

“This time I will not watch the Olympics. The most interesting thing for me is light and weightlifting - unfortunately, our athletes are not represented at these games.

What do I think about the doping scandal? I believe that Russia should have initially stated that we agree to participate in the Olympic Games only on the basis of Olympic principles. The Olympic principle is that everyone is equal. This means that you cannot agree to participate if we are made guilty. Russia had to withdraw the application. And the money that we spend on the IOC and on all these things will be given to athletes from our country. Nobody bothers them to come to the competition in private, and write "Russia" on their shorts or a T-shirt. And what is happening now, I am not at all happy."

Vladimir Berezin, actor, journalist, TV and radio host

“I wanted not to get sick, but after everything that happened to our Olympic team, I will watch, and worry, and be proud. Most of all I love synchronized swimming and diving. Every time I am amazed at how these beautiful, spectacular performances turn out. It seems to me that these are the most beautiful kinds of sports. It is a pity that there will be no our athletes - I was always amazed at their endurance, strength, capabilities."

Margarita Sukhankina, singer

"I remember the Moscow Olympics-80. At that time I was 16 years old, I was the soloist of the Big Children's Choir of the All-Union Radio. And I remember what Moscow was like - clean, elegant, festive. I am sure that everything is in order in Rio, that will cost without incidents, scandals. Now, although I am with my children on vacation in Crimea, I will follow the Games and rejoice at every medal of our team."
