Tatyana Tarasova said that the long-term isolation of Russian sports will lead to its decline
Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova assessed the prospects for Russian sports in the event that he is waiting for a long isolation from international competitions. It is reported by RBC.
According to the expert, the long-term non-participation of Russian athletes in international competitions will lead domestic sports to decline. Sanctions will restrain its development inside the country, she stressed. Tarasova expressed hope that the restrictions would not last so long.
Earlier, Deputy Minister of Sports of Russia Odes Baysultanov expressed the opinion that the sanctions of international sports federations are associated with a fear of competition with Russians in competitions. For Russia, the politician said, the suspensions could be a chance for a reset.
At the end of February, many international sports organizations began to remove Russians from tournaments. In some disciplines, such as football, hockey, cross-country skiing and biathlon, athletes are completely disqualified. In motorsport, cycling, tennis and chess, Russians can continue playing in a neutral status.
