— How would you describe the situation regarding the suspension of Russian sports?
“It’s like a gradual strangulation. Imagine that our sport is prey and the sanctions are a boa constrictor that slowly tightens its bonds around us. Such a slow, slow suffocation. The International Olympic Committee and all those who support the exclusion of our athletes from competitions are a kind of boa constrictor,” Shishkina said in an interview with the YouTube channel Discipline.
