Athletes of the main composition of the Russian wrestling team have not expressed a desire to change sport citizenship or end their careers, despite restrictions on admission to international departures, first vice-president of the Federation Russian Wrestling (FSBR), vice-president and member of the UWW executive committee told Natalya Yarygina.
On Tuesday, the UWW executive committee decided to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in international competitions, subject to recommendations from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
– Has anyone expressed the wish to change sports citizenship? No one is retiring?
“At the moment there is nothing like that. The main team is holding on, the guys hope to participate in all competitions of the Russian team. Let’s hope it will continue,” Yarygina told .
On March 28, the IOC announced recommendations on the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions. Recommendations include individual clearance, status neutrality, banning team sports, and banning athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the CWO. A decision on the Paris 2024 Olympics will be taken “at the appropriate time”, said the IOC.
