“On Saturday, we received a negative response from the international federation to our version of the entry form, which must be signed by athletes, coaches and specialists going to the world championship.

On Sunday, the FGSR presidium recommended that athletes not sign the declaration in the version proposed by World Rowing.
Athletes and coaches supported our federation’s position. A refusal to participate in the under-23 world championship was sent to the international federation.
We previously proposed to World Rowing to make adjustments to the wording of the commitment in order to respect the Olympic Charter and the integrity of sport.
In particular, we advocate the exclusion from the statement of elements related to the attitude of athletes towards the special military operation in Ukraine, since it is about politics, not sport.
On Saturday, a response was received that the bond form was previously approved by the executive committee of the international federation, and nothing can be corrected there,” Svirin said as quoted by TASS.
