President of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) Mikhail Mamiashvili told that he wanted to understand the reason for the bronze medallist’s participation in the World Championship Shamilia Mamedova at the Olympic Games after the entire team refused to compete in Paris.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) website reported that Mamedov had accepted the IOC’s invitation to perform in the French capital. However, last week, the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) announced that Russian wrestlers will not go to the Olympics.
— Shamil applied to the IOC and received an individual license?
– Yes, he made a choice for himself.
– Have you spoken to him yet?
– No. What’s the point of talking to him now? I communicated with everyone during the decision-making process. Of course, we talked to everyone and received full support.
– What did Shamil say? Was he silent?
— I certainly did not express my disagreement (with the decision).
— Is his motive clear?
– No. Another question: who is the moderator of his decision? The toys have long been gone; on our site we need to be more careful about such things. But we still need to contact the head coach, the head of the regional federation, but not to put pressure. Nobody will wait for that. I want to understand his motives, how conscious and final this choice is, “Mamiashvili told .
The games in Paris will take place from July 26 to August 11.
