Russian Wrestling Federation President Mikhail Mamiashvili in The Loud! on “”, said that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and United World of Wrestling (UWW) rejected the complaint of the Russian side because of the refusal to issue visas to Spain.
Earlier it became known that the Spanish authorities refused to issue visas to members of the Russian youth wrestling team (under 20) to participate in the European Championship.
– We have an answer. [МОК и UWW]that the national team will not be able to obtain a visa. The whole team.
It is difficult to assess this. This is a complete disregard for all contractual relationships and obligations that a country hosting such a major tournament assumes. There is still an obligation to provide visa assistance to all national team members. But the youth team was denied. We will realize ourselves in our country,” Mamiashvili said on .
The European Championship will take place from June 26 to July 2.
