Former Russian Sports Minister Kolobkov discusses Polish President Duda’s prospects at the helm of the IOC
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.
“These athletes competed under a different flag and defended the honor of another country, not Russia. Even if these countries reward them, it would be fair. But why should we encourage them? They brought glory to another country. Yes, the guys won medals and they are great, but they did not bring any glory to Russia. Therefore, I think that we should not encourage them, so as not to create a precedent of treason,” RIA Novosti quotes Vasiliev as saying.
