The championship started in Luoyang
Russian athletes will miss the junior world track cycling championships that started the day before in Luoyang, China. According to the president of the Russian Cycling Federation, Vyacheslav Yekimov, this situation was caused by problems with visas.
The federation had hoped to be able to send a team to the tournament, which ends on August 26.
"Unfortunately, we are missing the Junior World Championship. There was a problem with visas. We had some time to spare, but there was a hiccup – we were sent an expired license for the host organization, the process was delayed, and then there was a holiday in China. As a result, we didn't have time and are missing this start," Yekimov explained in an interview with MatchTV.
In the comments section, Russian fans do not hold back their emotions, commenting on the "friendship with China" that propagandists trumpet.
"We are doing so well. The Chinese have thrown us a good one! So much talk about friendship," "Another one to the list of unfriendly, but what are you going to do?", "Who wanted a turn to the east, how do you like the turn? Does it suit you?" users write.
Earlier this year, the Russian national team was not allowed to go to Glasgow for the World Cycling Championships, which took place in August 2023. In the largest city in Scotland, medals were awarded in both track and road cycling in one tournament.
As OBOZ.UA previously reported, two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulayev was not allowed to enter Romania for the European Championships.
