Laishev stressed that he does not consider such actions a betrayal, since it is an individual decision of each person, each citizen. As a sports manager, he felt that this choice was not correct. However, looking at the situation from the other side, Laishev noted that similar cases had already happened before due to the huge competition.
He pointed out that the main reason could lie in Russia’s current restrictions and exclusion. From this point of view, according to Laishev, it is not a noble and grateful act. However, if we consider the situation taking into account internal competition in the country, similar transitions have already taken place. Laishev recalled that the fifth and sixth numbers went to friendly republics and had the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games.
