The sports minister, the chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev summarized the results of the forum "Russia — is a sporting nation".
— Water polo is the first team sport which returned to the international arena. Can it serve as an example for other federations?
— Of course! Handball is next in turn. This issue will be raised in December at the Congress of the International Handball Federation. I’m aware that the volleyball federation is working on this issue. Precedent — is a precedent. And this snowball is growing in favor of Russia,— Mikhail Degtyarev said.
To recall, the other day the World Aquatics organization gave the green light to the return of the water polo national teams of Russia and Belarus to the international arena, they will participate in a neutral status.
