The Russian Curling Federation (RCF) continues to pay annual dues to the World Curling Federation (WCF), but the amount is rather symbolic, the head of the FCR told . Dmitry Svishchev .
In September, the WCF Board of Directors extended the suspension of Russian athletes from participating in tournaments under the auspices of the organization until December 31, 2022.
— We continue to pay dues to the international federation. Yes, our athletes do not participate in competitions, but we continue to be a full member of the federation itself: we participated in the electoral conference, in the vote, etc.
It is clear that we all want to participate in competitions, but today, due to obvious political pressure through the IOC, we are unfortunately deprived of this right. Moreover, colleagues recommend that we do not even ask to participate in tournaments, because our athletes have been suspended,” Svishchev told a correspondent.
– Contributions – a significant amount?
No, rather a symbolic story. As for biathletes, this is about 10,000 rubles. These contributions represent a penny for the budget of almost all the international federations.
