Member of the Russian bowling team, Nikita Koshelev, weighed in on the Russians’ chances of winning an Olympic medal in this discipline. His words are quoted “Soviet sport”.
“Every year new players come and sports bowling’s audience grows. We are already winning international medals in various competitions. “If bowling is still included in the Olympic program and returns to Russia’s Olympic family, I think it can bring additional medals to the country’s treasury over time,” Koshelev said.
At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) appealed to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. Thereupon, international organizations banned Russian athletes from participating in competitions outside Russia.
On October 12, the IOC announced the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) until further notice, following the inclusion of the Olympic Councils of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions in the Russian organization.
Previously at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated About the distortion of the ideas of the Olympic movement.
