The competition was originally scheduled to take place in Russia in September 2024.
Kolobkov supported postponement of Friendship Games
“I think this is the right decision. A lot of competitions have already taken place this year: the Future Games, the BRICS Games, the Spartakiad. This is already a very heavy burden for the state and the organizing committee.
Moreover, perhaps after the Olympics not all strong athletes would decide to take part in the Friendship Games, because after the Olympics the interests of athletes, advertisers and sponsors decrease. Therefore, the decision to postpone the competition to a later period is ideal, “Sport-Express quotes Svishchev.
