He emphasized: “I think it is worth refusing such participation in international tournaments. All this turns into a process of constant humiliation of Russian athletes and, in my opinion, we should not succumb to the humiliation. We need to develop sports within the framework of the country, which will lead to much more significant results. Let them hold their Olympics without the participation of Russians and enjoy their superiority in less important competitions. The more independent we become and the sooner we refuse to participate, the sooner we will be called And we will be ready to make a decision,” Karyakin emphasized in an interview with a correspondent of the “Championship”.
