1993 World Championship medalist, former track and field athlete Yolanda Chen on the air of the program “There is a theme” on “”, said that Russia must continue to fight for the opportunity to participate in international competitions.
– The spectators want our athletes to stand on the highest steps, as was the case at the Olympic Games and the World Figure Skating Championships, where our girls occupied all three places. You know, everything will end, but the winner’s first and last name will be in the directory. And I really don’t want there to be a gap where there won’t be a Russian winner. Because later in the story no one will ask, “What happened?” Why weren’t there?” It’s imperative to make sure those names are there. That’s all! Chen said.
After the start of a special operation in Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee recommended to international federations not to invite Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under their auspices.
