Double Olympic biathlon champion Svetlana Ichmouratova told that she did not understand the logic of the Russian sports federations which decided to withdraw their appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision to exclude them from international competitions.
On Thursday, a source told that all Russian sports federations had withdrawn their complaints to the CAS against the decision to exclude them from international competitions.
—There must have been some sort of centralized decision on this. Of course, we don’t have any information on this, so it is difficult to comment on this topic now. I don’t know what they decided there, but it turns out that they are on soft legs again. I do not understand this. Now this definitely won’t work. And that’s not necessary at all. I would like to show at least a little of my character. How long can you swallow grievances? They beat everyone and forced them to their knees. Perhaps we still need to stand up and say our important word? Today they gave it back, tomorrow they took it away… That’s not how you do everything. You can’t retreat,” Ishmuratova told .
Russian athletes in most sports have been suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
