Acting Head of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA) Irina Privalova said she understood the statements of the Olympic champion Maria Lasitskene on the week of athletics.
Earlier, Lasitskene regretted that athletics competitions of such a volume had not been held before in Russia, “athletics has gone so far that what is happening is right, but it is not enough anymore , it’s too late”.
— The idea of the athletics festival was born in the winter, carried out thanks to the Moscow authorities. Of course, there were inconsistencies, but you always have to take a step forward. Firstly, it is support for athletes, secondly, no one has canceled the development of athletics.
Review of Lasitskene? Better late than never. I understand Masha, her whole sports career fell on an unfavorable period that came in athletics. Over the past 1.5 years, a new team, new ideas have worked in our federation. There is an opportunity to begin the development of internal departures, this is underlined. It is clear that she is offended, this could happen in 2016. Especially after the Olympic year, when she could work wonders on such success.
She is a strong person, we have a very good relationship with her. She has more claims on the former leaders of the federation. I support her. – said Privalova in the program “All for the match” on “”.
