Olympic Games bronze medalist in track cycling Gulnaz Khatuntseva has told she is not going to change her sporting citizenship.
The International Cycling Union (UCI), in the context of the situation in Ukraine, has planned an accelerated process of changing sports citizenship for Russian athletes.
Have you set aside a neutral status situation for yourself?
Yes, I’m not going to do that yet.
Are you planning to change nationality?
— No, I’m staying in Russia. For me, it is better to stop sport and start working here than to change sport citizenship.
Are you already thinking about the Olympic Games?
– We will definitely not go to Paris in our sport. As for the next, we will see,” Khatuntseva told .
