Yury Borodavko, head coach of Russia’s national cross-country ski team, said those who want to change sports citizenship should be aware of what they are doing because life is very long.
Earlier, the head of the State Duma’s Committee for Physical Culture and Sports Dmitry Svishchev told that the Duma is discussing the introduction of compensation when athletes change sports citizenship.
– Firstly, in the ranks of the ski team, no one even thought about changing sports citizenship.
And those who take such a step should understand the following. The Olympic Games are not a lifetime, but only two weeks. And life is very long. Therefore, those wishing to change their nationality should be aware of what they are doing, Borodavko told Vprognoze.ru.
Against the background of the situation around Ukraine, some Russian athletes are changing their sports citizenship. These include cyclists Pavel Sivakov (France), Mikhail Yakovlev (Israel), swimmers Anastasia Kirpichnikova (France), Mark Nikolaev (Australia), short track skater Sofia Prosvirnova (Denmark), chess players Alina Kashlinskaya (Poland), Alexandra Kosteniuk (Switzerland). ), rowers Anna Prakaten (Uzbekistan), Nikolai Pimenov (Serbia), figure skaters Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin (Georgia).
