33 countries of the Western world have united against Russia in sports – the full luxury of Russian athletes is required
quite recently, they still met on the principle of “sport outside politics”. that is a big misconception.
The heads of departments of 33 countries are appointed with a demand to suspend the activities of this membership in Russia and the international federation of Belarus, as well as to ban television broadcasts of the international meeting in the countries. Out of politics, you say?
“We demand to suspend Russia’s membership”
About the statement about “restrictions that should be embraced by athletes from Russia and Belarus in the field of science,” said the Minister of Sports and Tourism of Poland Kamil Bortnichuk.
“We demand the suspension of television events in the federations of Russia and Belarus in international organizations, we demand the suspension of the representation of Russia and Belarus among the governing bodies of international federations, as well as the suspension of television broadcasts of international events in the territories of Russia and Belarus,” TASS reports.
According to the Polish minister, the decision to link is due to the fact that some sports federations may allow Russian athletes to participate in international competitions. As an example, he presented the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation, which recently restored the membership of the Russian Bobsleigh Federation.
Unindustrious opinion, the subscription is under the statement: 25 representatives of the EU countries, as well as the field of sports of the UK, USA, New Zealand, Australia, South Japan, Japan, Norway and Canada. According to the British media, with the publication of the signing of the document, they did not agree with the proposal of the representatives of the federal assemblies and Bulgaria.
“Polish nit doesn’t know how we got arrested”
In Russia, this accusation caused a sharp scrutiny. The honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova was especially tough.
“I was occupied by the zoo. They fed the lions there. I saw how they tore them, tore them apart. Their chief beat the smaller mongrel with his paw, who ate people of roe deer. This picture reminds me of what is happening now. They are not only our blood, but also our meat. This Polish nit doesn’t know how to stop us. How do we interfere with him and the Poles of drivers? What right does he have to bully people like that?
Let them all present with whatever they want. Here are the Poles 100 years in figure skating, but there is no result. Now they have taken a Russian girl, they are trying to attach her. If ours is removed, then this girl will be in prizes. The Poles are rubbish and fascists. They can’t fight the chances differently, ”RIA Novosti translates Tarasova’s words.
President of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics Irina Viner-Usmanova called the challenge complete:
“These are countries that are unfriendly to us, this is expected, that’s all,” Viner-Usmanova said. We didn’t learn anything new. Not surprised at all. Signed and signed, this is their opinion. Moreover, a long-standing one, ”- a reproduction of the words of Viner-Usmanova TASS.
“Applications that are discriminatory”
The Minister of Sports of Russia Oleg Matytsin officially recognized the discriminatory nature of this document.
“The authors of the document are representatives of figures, ministers of sports, their signatures contradict the position of non-interference of states in the activities of individual external organizations. On the one hand, we are currently seeing a productive approach by federations that allow Russian athletes to participate in international tournaments, and are aware of the significant work that is being considered in high-ranking bodies. On the other hand, there are still such collective applications that are of a specific discriminatory nature. Adherents do not adhere to the interests of athletes.
We actively cooperate with all countries.
Whether the signed statement will have any effect is difficult to say. In many important sports, there are more than a hundred international member federations. Whether the 33 powerful and wealthy members can push ahead with their decision, despite most opinions, we’ll soon find out.
