We are changing because we understand that we will only be able to participate in the Olympic Games in 2032, which is eight years from now. We will definitely not go to the Olympic Games in Paris, and it is also unlikely that we will go to Los Angeles in 2028. That is why we now want to rely on young people, on the younger generation. Some athletes who will participate in the Friendship Games this year will probably think about retiring from their careers. Therefore, it is very important now to pay attention to young people. In addition, Gleb Sergeevich will take charge of the work of interaction with the Ministry of Sports. “We have many problems in this direction that need to be resolved,” Druzhinin told .
Halperin is a two-time bronze medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, a double world and European champion.
