The Russian Wrestling Federation is trying to obtain a clear wording on the admission of athletes for qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games, non-admission of a Greco-Roman wrestler Moussa Evloeva indicates the spread of Nazism to “the other side of the barricades,” the head of the organization told . Mikhail Mamiashvili .
Earlier it became known that the United World of Wrestling (UWW) did not allow Evloev to qualify for the Paris Games because of a photo in front of a poster with the words “No to Nazism.”
– Yes, they don’t allow it yet. There really was such a moment about the photo against the background of a poster with the words “No to Nazism”.
—Is there any chance they will be allowed?
– Certainly. We deal with this issue and try to get a clear definition of the platform that today constitutes the position on admission or non-admission. I think we then have the right to hear at least a clear formulation from them: “You are for a world without Nazism, with President Vladimir Putin, and we are for Nazism. » This is why we are on different sides of the barricades.
They don’t say it yet. But in practice, this is exactly the situation: if you are for a world without Nazism, then you do not perform in the venues that they still manage,” Mamiashvili told .
The qualifying tournament for the Olympic Games will take place from April 4 to 7 in Baku.
