Russian Boxing Federation Secretary General Tatiana Kirienko said there was no discouragement due to international sanctions.
Russian boxers will not participate in qualifying competitions for the 2024 Olympic Games in neutral status. In the summer of 2023, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) withdrew recognition from the International Boxing Association (IBA), which allowed Russians to compete in tournaments under the national flag. Friday at the “We are together. Sport” is organizing a round table on the theme of “Friendship Games”.
“We have not had and we have no discouragement. » We all work. I don’t want to give any advice, I’ll just tell you about my experience and cooperation. We negotiate with the national boxing federations. The center, built in Luzhniki, has long become a place for boxing and friendship. Delegations constantly come to us to show off this beauty. There will be a boxing tournament as part of the Friendship Games.
The calendar is very busy, we have the European and World Championships, as well as the BRICS Games. When is it time to get discouraged? All that remains is to work.
Bach recently spoke about giving a bone to a Russian bear. But his information is outdated, he has forgotten that in our country there are not only bears, but also tigers. And the symbol of our games is a little tiger. We are not afraid of anyone, we continue to work and prepare. We need to communicate more, invite people to our country,” reports Kirienko, correspondent.
The World Friendship Games will be held from September 15 to 29 in Moscow and Yekaterinburg.
