    Just for context, it has been revealed that the alleged statement of “natural gesture of affection, etc” is false and forged.

    It was released by the Federation, but she never said that.

    She has only said that she did not liked it and won’t make any more statements at the moment.

    Hermoso was pressured too in the trip back home to appear on the “apology” video from the president (spoiler: he does not really apologize and before that he insulted everybody that did not like the kiss on the radio) but she refused.

    The coach tried to persuade the family in the plane too, three times. They did not cave.
