20:54, 19 December 2025
Sergey Shishkarev shared his impressions of the meeting with the candidate for the presidency of the IHF Gerd Butzeck.
 
 — We work Russian-style. We lobby for our interests gently, delicately, but quite clearly, bringing the position of the national federation to the attention. We intelligibly explain to each candidate for the main post in the world handball that any gold medal turns out to be of low purity without Russian and Belarusian participation in international competitions, it gleams like gipsy gold. 
 
As the saying goes, nothing personal. Playing to win. Our win. We met with Gerd Butzeck during lunch. I hope our conversation didn't ruin the interlocutor’s appetite. I’m even sure of it, — the Head of the HFR wrote in his telegram channel.
