Three-time Olympic champion in pair skating Irina Rodnina commented on Russia’s potential return to international competitions. She noted that at the moment there is a positive trend of changes in relation to Russian athletes.
The situation in the world is changing now, at least in relation to Russia. Many of our problems have begun to be looked at differently. Somewhere it has become worse, and somewhere better. Each country has its own problems, arguments and policies, – Sport24 quotes Rodnina as saying.
In 2022, Russian athletes were suspended from international competitions in many sports. In some sports, Russians participate in world tournaments under the conditions of neutral status.
