Sports Director of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA) Yuri Borzakovsky stated that his position as head coach of the national team Russia was somewhat symbolic due to the suspension of ARAF.
Borzakovsky, 41, was the national team’s head coach from 2015 to 2021.
– The fact is that during the six years I was head coach, we were suspended. As a result, my position was somewhat nominal. Yes, I controlled the training process of all leaders, as well as the work of senior specialists in each discipline. But he did not select a team as such. We were waiting for our federation to be restored to its rights, but we did not wait. Therefore, for my part, I decided that the Tokyo Olympics would be my last test as a head coach. And on September 30, 2021, when my contract ended, I just didn’t renew it,” Borzakovsky told RT.
On November 13, 2015, ARAF was suspended from membership in the International Association of Athletics Federations due to a doping scandal.
