Tuganov, 61, was a member of the Russian national team. He participated in two Olympics – in Athens and London.
“At the end of 2022, the master of world-class sports Vladimir Tuganov changed his sports citizenship from Russia to Palestinian, the transition was completed under all the formal procedures necessary for this.
Observing the established rules, Vladimir Petrovich filed formal demands for his release from all official positions held in the national federation.
On the reasons for choosing Palestine as the country for which he will play, it is better to ask the runner himself.
Of course, the departure of every athlete from the national team is a serious loss for the country. However, under conditions where our athletes’ participation in international competitions is prohibited, we understand and accept the choice of each of them,” FKSR TASS said in a statement.
