Curator of national youth volleyball teams of Russia Ekaterina Gamova believes that it is impossible to be sure of the possibilities of agreeing on friendly matches with Chinese teams.
Russian volleyball players suspended from participation in international tournaments in the context of the situation in Ukraine.
— Many sports have started cooperating with Chinese federations. Do you have any leads on this?
– China is always a question mark, they will never do anything to their own detriment. Many countries refuse to compete with us, fearing sanctions from international federations. We’ve had cases where China agreed and then they just disappeared and it all ended in nothing.
– Were you hoping to play at the Universiade? It was said that it was theoretically possible…
We don’t believe in theories. This will not work, we have a competition plan approved by the Ministry of Sports. You can’t just put something in there so abruptly,” Gamova told .
