russian athlete Sergei Shubenkov on the air of the program “Fort!” on the channel, he said that he did not lose hope about the admission of national athletes to international departures.
– We have to keep fit and prepare more. Why? They arrived with assets (laughs). It is clear that there are no targets for this year, but we are not losing hope that the situation will normalize.
I hope we won’t have to wait until 2032. I don’t forget the history of the Paris Olympics. I want to run, the light may not be a torch, but it’s there. We hope that the existing conflicts will be resolved and that Russian sport will no longer experience this “cancellation era”, Shubenkov said.
Since 2015, Russian athletes can only participate in international competitions in neutral status due to the suspension of the VFLA. In March, the World Athletics Association (World Athletics) suspended the Russians due to the situation in Ukraine.
