The Russian Diving Federation (RFDI) hopes that Russian athletes will be allowed to participate in the national championships of Asian countries, the head of the organization said. Stanislav Druzhinin.
Earlier in December, Druzhinin told that appealing to the International Swimming Federation (FINA) for participation in Asian tournaments was common from Russian federations.
– Maria Polyakova joined the FINA Athletes’ Commission, despite the opposition of foreign representatives. For us, it’s a small victory. We are in contact with FINA. We hope that a positive decision will be taken so that we can participate in competitions in Asia. We are writing letters to FINA so that we ideally move to Asia and participate in the national championships of Asian countries,” Druzhinin told reporters.
Russian athletes have been suspended from participating in tournaments under the auspices of FINA due to the situation in Ukraine.
