Handball teams will have fun at the European Championships without the Russian national team, but good athletes should have a sense of incompleteness in these competitions, said Olympic champion, head coach of Rostov-Don, at MatchTV. Edward Koksharov .
The Russian national handball team is currently suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. The European Women’s Championship will take place in November in Slovenia, North Macedonia and Montenegro.
– What do you think of the European Championship without the Russian team?
– They will have fun, rejoice without the Russian team. But still, good athletes should have a sense of championship incompleteness when winning a tournament without a strong team that has been artificially left out.
– That is, the European Championship can be called inferior without Russia?
– Opponents will consider these competitions to be full-fledged, and we will remain skeptical. The Russian women’s team is one of the strongest teams in the world. It is wrong that our team was limited in participation, – said Koksharov “”.
