Athletistic / Others. Olympic speed skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Svetlana Zhurova spoke about the upcoming elections for the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The current head of the organization, Thomas Bach, will leave his post in 2025.

Earlier, the official had announced that he would not be elected for a new term.

“I think this option is being considered, to support someone who is clearer to us. It is better not to talk about it openly. It is better to lead a clandestine struggle and campaign, let’s say it that way.

Russian synchronized swimming team coach Pokrovskaya criticized Bach for his attitude towards Russians

I can’t say who it is. You call a person that, but he won’t let him win. For example, Samaranch Jr. comes to mind. In memory of my father…

But if there is a Russian there, he must settle in Switzerland, he will not be able to live in Russia. Unfortunately, there is no place for ours and for Africans.

“Maybe the Prince of Monaco loves Russia, as far as I know,” Zhurova is quoted by Match TV.
