Athletistic / Others. Irina Rodnina, a three-time Olympic figure skating champion and now a State Duma deputy, shared her thoughts on the election of the new head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). She also spoke about the chances of Russians to participate in the upcoming Olympic Games, which will be held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy).

Olympic champion Lasitskene commented on her own result at the Russian Championship

“First, everyone is waiting for political events, you know what I’m talking about. Second, the new leadership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will come and a new broom always sweeps in a new way, we just have to wait.

You know, I don’t do fortune telling and I always know: how much I won is how much hope I have. And what can we count on here… There is no point in hoping that we will be treated well – this has never happened, is not and will not happen,” Rodnina quotes RIA Novosti.
