Athletistic / Combat. Tatiana Tarasova, Honored Figure Skating Coach of the USSR, commented on wrestler Shamil Mamedov’s decision to refuse to travel to the Olympic Games in Paris (France). Mamedov, 23, was the only Russian who applied for the Paris competition.

The IOC has announced that the list of Russians admitted to the Olympic Games will be updated.

But today, July 13, the Russian Wrestling Federation announced that due to a knee injury, the athlete will not travel to Paris.

“I think this decision is sincere. A person can make this decision, perhaps once in his life, and this decision must be respected,” Tarasova quotes.
