“It is difficult to talk about the correct position of the IOC. It is enough to recall the shameful spectacle of Bach’s appeal to pranksters.” -Mamiashvili

It is difficult to talk about the balanced and adequate position of the International Olympic Committee on the issue of admitting Russians to the Games; it is enough to recall to what extent the president of the IOC behaved shamefully; Thomas Bach communicating with Russian pranksters, said the president of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) Mikhail Mamiashvili.

Earlier, in a conversation with pranksters Vovan and Lexus, Bach said that the IOC had asked Ukrainians to monitor the patriotic statements of Russian athletes on the Internet, which could lead to sanctions and exclusion from the Olympic Games in 2024 in Paris.

— How important is the Russian Championship? Is this a reference to the Olympic Games?

— Unfortunately, there are no answers to many questions. We are placed in such conditions that it is very difficult to speak of a balanced and adequate position of the IOC. It is enough to recall the shameful spectacle of Bach’s appeal to Lexus and Vovan. Imagine, you have to find contact with people like Bach. Our certain pessimism is therefore justified.

Nevertheless, we are preparing at full speed for the Russian Championship. The composition of participants and the intensity of the Pre-Olympic Russian Championship will be at the highest level. I would like to express my gratitude to Suleiman Kerimov, he has been worried about our federation for many years.

The fight between Dzhabrailov and Sadulayev alone is worth it. In each weight category, the possibility of entering the main list of the Olympic Games will be decided.

— Will Sidakov perform at the Russian Championship?

— Zaurbek Sidakov, unfortunately, did not fully recover. But he will be present at the competition, which will give an impetus to others, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Mamiashvili’s words.

The Russian Freestyle Wrestling Championship will be held in the Moscow region from April 30 to May 4. For Russian wrestlers, this tournament will be the last home tournament before the Olympics.
