Tarasova refused to call the restoration of the Russian Paralympic Committee in the IPC a victory
Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova appreciated the restoration of the membership of the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC) in the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Her words are quoted by Sport-Express.
Tarasova refused to call this decision a victory. “It’s only a good shift,” she pointed out.
On 12 May, the IPC Appeals Tribunal overturned the RPC’s suspension. In Russia, they said that they would work out options for further legal protection of the rights of athletes in the issue of admission to international competitions.
Earlier, the IPC refused to allow Russian athletes to compete at the 2022 Games. Initially, domestic athletes were allowed to perform in a neutral status, but then the decision was changed.
