President of the International Boxing Association (IBA) Umar Kremlev showed he was a strong man when he convinced his colleagues to allow Russians to compete internationally in his sport, says the head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe .
India hosts the Women’s World Boxing Championship, where the Russian team competes under its national flag. The International Fencing Federation also allowed Russians to participate in international competitions.
– Now the Russian team participates in the Women’s World Boxing Championship under its national flag. The International Fencing Federation also allowed Russians to participate in international competitions. Do you think the FIS will follow these examples in the near future?
– I don’t know exactly how the fencers were allowed in, there were questions there too. As for boxing, this international federation is very lucky. Everything is related to the Kremlin there. The boss of the international federation turned out to be a strong man, he did not bend to anyone, held his position and was able to convince his colleagues.
“Does that mean you shouldn’t expect the same loyalty from the FIS?”
– Considering who is now on the FIS Council, we have no chance. There are 90% Anglo-Saxons. I don’t even know which is better for us – Scandinavians or Brits. We now have a very incomprehensible FIS advice,” the correspondent told Vyalba.
