Double Olympic champion in 2016 Yana Egoryan told that extending the suspension of Russian fencers until March 2023 is a very sensitive topic.
Earlier, Russian Fencing Federation (FFR) President Ilgar Mammadov told that the International Fencing Federation (FIE) Congress had voted to extend the suspension of Russian athletes from competitions under the auspices of the organization until March 2023. According to Mammadov, an extraordinary meeting of the Congress will be held in March 2023, during which the question of the admission of Russians will again be raised.
– That’s a shame. What more can I say here? A very sensitive topic,” Yegoryan told .
On March 2, the FIE, following the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), suspended Russian athletes from participating in competitions under its auspices due to the situation in Ukraine.
