USSR Honorary Coach Tatyana Tarasova said that she does not see the change of sports citizenship of Russian athletes as a big problem. His words lead the way “RB Sport”.
According to him, such a step is most often taken by people who have little chance of getting into the Russian national team.
“As a rule, those who cannot make it into the national team change their citizenship. “I can’t say that this is a problem for our sport,” Tarasova said.
On February 28, 2022, the 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. Since then they have only participated in local tournaments.
On October 2, 2023, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced the suspension of the PRC until further notice, following the inclusion of the Olympic Councils of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions in the Russian organization.
Previously Tatyana Tarasova appreciated Support from Vladimir Putin to Kamila Valieva.
