The Russian Curling Federation (RFC) will write an official letter to the World Curling Federation (WCF) to receive clarification on the suspension of the contract with the television channel “ “, said the official of the FCR Dmitry Svishchev .
Earlier on Wednesday, general producer Alexander Taschin announced that WCF had suspended the contract for the 2022/23 season. Instead of curling competitions next Sunday, plans to broadcast the Russian Snow Volleyball Championship from Novy Urengoy.
— This is very bad news for Russian and international curling. This is an amazing decision of our “old friend” – an organization that was created to develop sports around the world, including Russia. Broadcasting is one of the forms of development and popularization of curling, and in Russia enough people followed international competitions on television and via the Internet. It is clear that without the participation of Russian athletes, the demand for broadcasting will not be so high, but the decision to show or not show this or that competition should be made by the broadcaster who paid the money, and not by the federation. So the solution for is amazing. I will definitely write a letter to my WCF colleagues. The leadership there was recently re-elected and Russia voted for it. So, I want to understand how curling can be developed in the country if it is not broadcast on television, also on the initiative of the federation. I hope I will get qualified answers,” Svishchev told a correspondent.
