Athletistic/Winter sports. Russian State Duma Deputy Dmitry Svishchev, in an interview with VseProSport, discussed the problem of admitting Russian athletes to winter sports.

“The situation for winter sports is quite difficult. We closely follow the recommendations of the IOC, maintain constant contact with the presidents of the federations, but unfortunately, these recommendations for Russia are quite strict. We hope for a new leadership of the IOC, which will resolve the problems that emerged under the reign of Thomas Bach and his team. Their own statements and recommendations regarding Russian and Belarusian athletes have led them to find themselves in a difficult situation. The sooner they resolve this issue, the better it will be for the entire Olympic movement,” Svishchev noted.

  • The State Duma has named two people who can help bring Russia back into world sports
