I would really like to recruit more young people, but we have criteria that were not invented by Viktor Maigurov or me. They were developed by a Coaching Council, which includes the best coaches from all regions. These criteria were developed by them, approved by them, and according to these criteria, athletes are included in the national team. Kira Dyuzheva understood this.
