Russian Vice President Igor Levitin spoke about the possibility of returning Russian athletes to international competitions.

“Unfortunately, Russian sport is in a turbulent state right now. The President of the Russian Olympic Committee has already mentioned this in his interview. Most states support us.
It is very important for all our athletes to participate in international competitions. Yes, there is a problem – how, how will it look. However, I am confident that the Ministry of Sports, the PRC, sports federations and public institutions will do everything to ensure that our athletes participate in competitions,” Levitin said. “Sport Express”.
Recall that on January 25, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended sports federations to allow Russian athletes to participate in international competitions with neutral status. These recommendations have already been implemented by the fencing, boxing, wrestling, taekwondo federations that allow Russians to participate in tournaments.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBU), Viktor Maigurov, said that the athletes ready return to the international arena.
