“Hope always dies last. This is not a denial. At the moment the invitation will not take place. We hope that reason will prevail. Yet people will remember that sport does not is not a question of politics. It is a question of friendship, love and surpassing oneself. I hope that the people who make these decisions will be careful and remember what all this is for, “reports the correspondent of according to the words of Navka.
