Athletistic / Combat. The head of the Russian Wrestling Federation, Mikhail Mamiashvili, said that in a number of regions Russian athletes who won medals at the Olympic Games as part of other teams were rewarded.

Earlier it became known that some Russians who successfully participated in the Olympic Games in Paris (France) for other countries received generous rewards.

In particular, the Minister of Sports of Chechnya Akhmat Kadyrov handed over the keys to the apartments to wrestlers Razambek Zhamalov and Islam Dudayev. Also in Dagestan, wrestler Dauren Kurugliev received an apartment. They all represented different countries at the Olympics, but not Russia.

Vasiliev spoke out against financial incentives for Russians playing for other national teams

“How do I feel about this award? I support it. Many left to play for another team, having agreed on everything, they received full support. But there are those who, unfortunately, simply ran away. Russians, Dagestanis, Chechens, etc. remained, even if they received sports citizenship of another state. But others acted differently.

I would like them not to forget those athletes who were deprived by the IOC leadership of the opportunity to compete at the Olympic Games. The same Sadulayev, Kutuzov and other worthy ones – they were excluded from the lists, although they passed the most difficult selection for the Games. These guys also need support, they are heroes. I am convinced that they will again prove their worth and love for the place where they were born, for their country, “Mamiashvili is quoted by Match TV.
