MOSCOW, January 20, Sergey Pogrebnyak. President of the Freestyle Federation of Russia (FFR) Aleksey Kurashov said that the composition of the national team for the Beijing Winter Olympics will be published on January 21. Earlier, Russian freestylers were unable to take part in the Canadian stages of the World Cup due to their lack of vaccination with a vaccine approved by the World Health Organization. «Qualification period for the Olympic games ended on January 16. Starting from the 17th, there is a redistribution of rating quotas in all freestyle disciplines. This procedure will last until Friday. To date, those quotas that we have already won have been confirmed. Now, together with the Russian Olympic Committee, we continue to work on defending our interests in terms of allocating additional quotas. How long it will take — I can’t say. But in the near future we will understand whether we will receive from International Olympic Committee these quotas or not. We have a very difficult struggle in the diplomatic vein,» Kurashov said.
