This was announced by the President of the Russian Student Sports Union Sergei Seiranov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Athletes will not compete at the Universiade in any capacity, nothing worked out... It was planned that 11 people would go there, but we never received any clarification from the International University Sports Federation (FISU) on how neutral athletes will participate in competitions. It was not clear how to enter them into the database,” Seiranov said.
He also noted that the online registration system is closed, not a single Russian athlete is on the list of participants in the Universiade.
Previously, seven Russian track and field athletes were allowed to compete under a neutral flag.
