Athletistic/Hockey. Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev commented on yesterday’s decision by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) to suspend the national teams of Russia and Belarus from international tournaments for the 2024/2025 season .

“Given international sports news, there are no surprises. It becomes clear that one can only expect what is designed and planned from above. However, it is too early to speculate on the possibility of participation in the Olympic Games in 2026. There, the atmosphere is changing like the weather. I don’t want to make any predictions yet. You shouldn’t expect anything from them, you need to mind your own business, ”Pliushchev explained in a conversation with a journalist from the “Championship”.
