Elevich: “If our young people prepare well in the coming years, the team will shoot at the 2028 Olympic Games”

Honored coach of Russia Sergei Elevich in a conversation with , he suggested that the first major international competition after the suspension of the Russian national team would be the 2028 Olympics, so in the coming years the young team should prepare well and perform successfully in Los Angeles.

Russian athletes in most sports, including basketball, have been suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. Basketball players from the Russian national team have been organizing a training camp in Novogorsk since February 17. The meeting between the Russian national team and Samara will take place on Friday in Moscow. Watch the live broadcast of the match from 6:55 p.m. on the Match! Country”, “Match! Planet” and “Match! Game”, as well as on the sites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru. Samara takes second place in group B of the regular championship of the VTB United League.

— The match with Samara will be useful: the team must play something. I would like to have a stronger opponent. However, to clarify that this does not work. And what else do I know. But apparently they didn’t find it. Perhaps there were difficulties? I don’t think about the results now. Now the most important thing is to play against the guys. I’m a fan of the team continuing to come together and having opportunities to train, we need to work on the tactical aspects.

I think it is very important to control all our young people now. I think our next international competition will be the 2028 Olympics. I have now written a program at TsSP about the fact that we now need to pay special attention to young players.

— Should our team enter the 2028 Olympic Games in good shape?

– Certainly. And during this time, the team’s technical staff must not be touched in any way, no changes must be made. Let this headquarters operate until the Olympics. And just something will play out, and it will allow us to shoot at the Games, and this plan will not be empty. If we prepare properly, we should perform well in four years at the Olympics,” Elevich told .
