russian athlete Sergei Shubenkov on the air of the program “Fort!” on the channel “” admitted that he did not believe in the positive effect of the letter from the high jumper Maria Lasitskene at the head of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach .
Earlier, published a letter from Lasitskene to Bach, in which it condemned the IOC chief for lacking the courage and dignity to remove restrictions on Russian athletes.
I don’t see any results. Writing letters is a wonderful thing, only to dirty the paper now, in my opinion. The sad thing is that such a trend continues, very bad. Athletics, in my opinion, kind of turned in the wrong direction,” Shubenkov said.
At the end of February, the IOC recommended to international sports federations to prevent Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. At the beginning of July, Bach declared that “now is not the time to withdraw these recommendations”.
