This season, Belarusian athletes participate in athletics starts in Russia. In addition, Russian athletes have the opportunity to travel to Belarusian competitions.
– This season, Angelica Sidorova, whom you were looking for, does not occur. Do you feel like you’ve lost your bearings?
– No, because now athletes from Belarus began to come to us. Shestovichka Ira Zhuk plays with us, with whom we have the same results. Therefore, attractive reductions are currently being made in the sector. We push ourselves to greater heights.
– That is to say that the symbiosis of Russia and Belarus, present in many sports, also bears fruit in athletics?

– At the same time, ARAF was restored to its rights, so athletes can come to Russia not only from Belarus, but also from other countries.
– Yes it’s cool ! Anyone who wishes to come to our place, I will be happy to see. But I probably won’t write to people to invite them. Let the federation handle it,” Knoroz told .
