President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFT) Shamil Tarpishchev said that the BRICS Games are of utmost importance, but they cannot be considered a replacement for the Olympics.
The BRICS Games will be held in Kazan and end on June 23.
— I think that the organization of competitions within the framework of the BRICS Games went perfectly. The biggest problem is timing, as there is a schedule that is difficult to adapt to. I think the BRICS Games are necessary. These competitions are the future. But we cannot say that it is an alternative to the Olympic Games, that is inappropriate.
There have been BRICS Games before, but far fewer countries have participated. Now there is a gradual development, and then the strongest will definitely arrive. The niche of the reserves closest to the national team is empty today. And for them, these competitions are necessary,” reports the correspondent of , according to Tarpishchev’s words.
The Paris Olympic Games will be held from July 26 to August 11. It was previously announced that the Russian side had submitted a bid for the tournament. In men’s singles, Daniil Medvedev, Roman Safiullin, Pavel Kotov and Aslan Karatsev are entered, in women – Ekaterina Alexandrova, Mirra Andreeva, Veronika Kudermetova and Diana Schneider. Medvedev/Safiullin, Kotov/Karatsev, Andreeva/Kudermetova and Alexandrova/Schneider will perform as a duo.
