Ilgar Mammadov confident that Russian fencers will restore world leadership

KAZAN, March 31 – RIA Novosti, Vadim Kuznetsov. The President of the Russian Fencing Federation, Ilgar Mammadov, said the International Olympic Committee understands that it will weaken the Russian team by not allowing Russian athletes affiliated with the armed forces and security services to participate in international competitions.

Previously, the IOC had recommended that international federations allow the Russians, who did not support the special operation as neutral athletes, to begin. At the same time, the organization recommends that athletes affiliated with the armed forces and security services not be allowed to compete.

“We have all the leading athletes of CSKA and Dynamo. We have such a system, but the Germans, Hungarians, Chinese, Italians, Poles, Ukrainians are the same. To participate in the World Championships or the World Military Games, you have to do “They don’t let them in. The IOC knew this and knew where to hit them. There are fake attacks in fencing, but there are real attacks. So the IOC made a false attack by showing this. They want to give us back,” Mammadov told reporters.

Mammadov said he is confident that Russian fencing will return to the pinnacle of world sport once athletes are allowed to participate in international competitions.

“The return of the Russian fencers to the world stage will be victorious. We were world leaders, but we became ghosts. Now we are nowhere. Our last tournament was in February 2022, a year later our rating was reset. Once we start, Mammadov, suddenly our future will be difficult. But we will regain our positions and become the world leader. “When that will happen is a question,” he said.
