Mamiashvili announced a vile strategy towards Russians due to non-issuance of visas
President of the Russian Wrestling Federation Mikhail Mamiashvili commented on the problems of athletes with obtaining visas to enter Bucharest (Romania), where the European Championship will be held. His words are quoted by TASS.
Mamiashvili announced Europe’s vile strategy towards the Russians. In his opinion, the task is to isolate domestic athletes.
Earlier, the Russian Wrestling Federation stated that not all wrestlers have time to obtain a foreign passport before flying to the tournament. It is noted that the athletes’ documents are located at the visa center. The athletes are expected to receive their visas early this week.
The European Championships will be held in Bucharest from February 12 to 18. Russian athletes will perform at the tournament in a neutral status.
On April 4, 2023, the executive committee of the United World of Wrestling decided to allow Russian athletes to participate in international tournaments. It was noted that athletes will be allowed to compete subject to the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee.
