President of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) Mikhail Mamiashvili told that the Russian side will not complain about the Ukrainians for refusing to shake hands at the World Junior Championships.
The World Junior Wrestling Championship takes place in Amman (Jordan). Earlier, RT, citing Ukrainian media, reported that Ukrainian wrestlers refused to shake hands with Russians and Belarusians.
– There is no limit to madness. Nobody will complain about us, we have to be strong and win. And sport should be out of politics,” Mamiashivili told .
In April, United World of Wrestling (UWW) admitted Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions in a neutral status.
Previously, the Youth and Sports Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine proposed that international federations cancel mandatory handshakes and bows at competitions where Ukrainians face Russian or Belarusian athletes.
