The latest scandal happened the day before, when the International Fencing Federation (FIE) did not allow our main stars Sofia Velikaya, Sofia Pozdnyakova and Yana Grigoryan to compete under their auspices.
Against this background, sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev made a pessimistic forecast for the foreseeable future of domestic athletes.
“I fully accept that we will not miss two Olympics (summer and winter), but all four. Most likely, over time, athletes who are still competing at the junior level will be able to make it to the Games,” said said Guberniev.
According to him, even if the IOC on Paris 2024 will not take a final decision on the participation of the Russians until the summer, there should be no illusions about the result.
