“Russia was, is and will be a great sporting power, with a rich heritage, opportunities and a desire for new victories. It is sad to hear the statements of the authorities, the sports community and journalists that Russia is not sporting. Sport has always remained a state political priority, as confirmed by the President and the Government of Russia. Sport plays a key role in maintaining the health of citizens and stimulating an active lifestyle.
Despite the unacceptable restrictions imposed on our athletes, we continue to offer them social guarantees and support their participation in competitions. We organize All-Russian Spartakiads in summer and winter sports to support our athletes. Although we cannot influence the sanctions adopted by some countries and organizations against Russian sport, as members of the sports community we must be alone in our desire to integrate sport into our culture and common life.” , underlined Matytsin.
