“Little by little, everyone is dismissing our athletes. This will be the case, as it should be. Yes, many federations are still afraid to dismiss us for various reasons, including pressure. But they understand that without Russia, they cannot progress, the competition no, tickets are not for sale, sponsors have fled.
Returning our athletes to equestrian sports is a completely reasonable and logical solution to the problem, even if it was illogical to suspend our athletes in the first place. But then all the federations succumbed to pressure from the IOC,” Sport-Express quotes Svishchev.
