Presenter and commentator at Dmitry Guberniev praised the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF), which established a prize of one million rubles for compliance with Olympic standards at Russian competitions this season.
On Friday, ARAF announced that athletes who meet the qualification criteria for the Paris Olympics will receive an additional bonus of one million rubles.
– VFLA – bravo! We can only welcome the fact that the All-Russian Swimming Federation is increasing prize money and now the All-Russian Athletics Federation has done the same. In this situation, it is especially offensive to the queen of sports, because athletics athletes have not competed (on the international stage) for many years. I am in favor of helping athletes in every possible way. I myself am associated with many athletics competitions that take place in Moscow and beyond.
The value of the medal will increase, the intensity of passions will be greater. I can only wish that ARAF will reach an agreement with sponsors and increase the amount of prize money for the future. Money, as Andrei Alexandrovich Mironov said in the famous film, has not been canceled yet. We need to help the sport, ”Guberniev told .
Russian track and field athletes have been suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
