Head coach of the Russian athletics team Ruslan Mashchenko spoke about the exceptional importance of the upcoming season and also noted that the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation fully finances the preparation for the team for the competition.
On Friday, a meeting of the working group “Legislative support for the development of athletics in the Russian Federation” is being held in the State Duma. The meeting will discuss the results of the 2023 athletics season and plans for next year, including the preparation of athletics athletes for the BRICS Games and the first World Summer Friendship Games.
— The Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation fully funds all training activities aimed at preparing the national team for international competitions and will cover all training, equipment and sports equipment needs.
Next year is very important for our national team. After seven years of suspension, 2024 will mark the beginning of a new era, a long-awaited restoration. We expect strong competition. We are preparing carefully to adequately represent our country at the Friendship Games,” reports the correspondent, according to Machchenko’s words.
In March, it was announced that ARAF was once again a member of World Athletics after seven years, but that the suspension of the Russians and Belarusians from international competitions had been extended due to the situation in Ukraine.
The Friendship Games will be held from September 15 to 29, 2024 in Moscow and Yekaterinburg.
