Vyalbe called Russian wrestlers who refused to participate in the 2024 Olympics patriots
President of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe assessed the refusal of Russian wrestlers to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Vyalbe expressed support for the athletes and called their position patriotic. “In our time, we need to think more about this, and not about how to go to the Olympics by hook or by crook,” she said.
Earlier, the Russian Wrestling Federation explained the refusal of the national team representatives to participate in the Games in Paris. They noted that the Russian side does not accept the unsportsmanlike principle of selection for the Olympics.
The refusal of Russian wrestlers to participate in the 2024 Games became known on July 6. Ten representatives of this sport from Russia were invited to the Games, seven of whom were required to be suspended from competition by the National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports of Ukraine.
