The creation of a task force to support athletes under sanctions could point to some shortcomings in other divisions, believes the two-time Olympic champion. Svetlana Ichmuratova .
Earlier on Wednesday, it became known that world biathlon champion State Duma Deputy Anton Shipulin will lead a working group to support athletes under sanctions. The group is created under the aegis of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports.
“Of course, this is a good message. It is clear that there will be a task to help our athletes, but it is not clear how they will implement it, what the mechanism of action will be here. It is clear that the group is in the process of being formed and, of course, they have to think about their activities. The way in which they will interact. And so, in principle, why not? But it is another matter if such a group is formed, it means that we have some kind of default in other divisions. For example, through the Olympic Committee or the Ministry of Sports. Because these structures work for us to protect the athletes. And, of course, for God’s sake. If our guys get some extra help, I’m all for it,” Ishmuratova told .
