Athletistic/ Others. Not so long ago, Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene wrote an open letter to IOC chief Thomas Bach. She said that the official had not had the courage to cancel the suspension of Russian athletes from international competitions. According to Lasickienė, there was no response about Bach.
– There was no response from Bach. I had no doubt he wouldn’t. The letter was written so as not to forget the athletes who are in Russia, so as not to shift the responsibility of sport. This topic is difficult for me, – RIA Novosti quoted Lasitskene as saying.
