Athletistic / Combat. President of the Russian Wrestling Federation Mikhail Mamiashvili commented on the information that some Russian wrestlers were not allowed to participate in the 2024 Olympics. Earlier, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and Olympic champion of Greco-Roman wrestling Zhan Beleniouk spoke about the problems of Russians.

Belenyuk also said that the criteria for admitting Russians should correspond to Ukraine’s interests. These comments sparked criticism from Mamiashvili.

“Yes, the commission has questions about several athletes, but the criteria applied to them are absolutely crazy. I would not want the problem of strong competition to be solved in this way and the Olympic champion would be happy with it.

The president of the Russian Wrestling Federation responded to Wiener’s comments against Russian participation in the 2024 Olympics

I know Belenyuk as a worthy champion and I am ashamed to hear such words coming from his mouth. What is happening in his head, only God knows, but time will put everything in its place,” Mamiashvili was quoted as saying by TASS.
