Mikhail Degtyarev remembered the appeal of Elena Vyalbe to throw the bomb on London
The Minister of Sports of Russia and the head of the country’s Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev spoke about the importance of a single position in communicating with international sports organizations. His words are given by TASS.
He noted that he agreed with sports functionaries to synchronize contacts with the outside world. “Everyone who was not too lazy to go somewhere, they talked about something, then broadcast outside. Either our Olympians were called foreign agents, then they promised to drop bombs into European capitals, ”Degtyarev recalled.
According to the official, this prevented Russia from returning to international competitions. He also called the situation with the public statements of Russian sports functionaries Makhnovshchina.
In the fall of 2024, the head of the Russian skiing Federation Elena Vyalbe jokingly proposed to drop a bomb on London for the admission of Russian skiers to international tournaments. In her opinion, in this case, the ban from Western countries will cease to operate.
