Athletistic / Others. Olympic speed skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Svetlana Zhurova has denounced the fact that some Russians are members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Currently, the only Russian member of the IOC is the President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Shamil Tarpishchev.

Previously, former track and field athlete Elena Isinbaeva was a member of the organization. But it expires at the end of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France).

“We still have Shamil Tarpishchev, but unfortunately, this does not solve anything. Now it is difficult to convey something to anyone, so in any case, for a long time Russia will remain with only one IOC member. This is unfair, because there are no such large countries, and they each have four representatives. But that’s how it is for now,” Jourova is quoted by RIA Novosti.
