According to Bestemyanova, the situation with the resignation of Thomas Bach from the post of head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not change.

Recall that Bach’s powers, 70, expire in 2025. He had previously announced that he would not be elected for a new term.

“I don’t think that the departure of Thomas Bach will affect the question of whether Russian athletes will be allowed to participate in international tournaments or not. It has nothing to do with it. I think that at the next Olympics we will not be in full status either, but God grant that we will go there,” – RIA Novosti quotes Bestemyanova.
