Volleyball player Tetyukhin told why he is not thinking about changing sports citizenship

The player of Belogorye and the Russian national volleyball team Pavel Tetyukhin spoke about the possibility of changing sports citizenship.

– This exit is more suitable for individual athletes, for whom everything is at stake. We are a team sport. And if you globally change sports citizenship, then this is a change in everything: the style of living, life, playing. There will be no turning back. The same tennis players no longer live in Russia: Medvedev lives in France, it gives a little on the international arena, they play Grand Slams. It’s probably more about them.

Of course, I will not judge, but in general I do not know a single player from the Russian national teams, clubs who are ready to go right now to change their citizenship. We have a good league in this regard. It seems to me that for some time the level will definitely remain high, – Tetyukhin is quoted as saying by “Championship”.

On March 1, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) suspended all Russian teams and clubs from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.

• The Code of Ethics of the FFKKR prohibits coaches from negotiating with federations of other countries on the transfer of athletes and the change of sports citizenship
• “Apparently, she is already deeply American.” Teryushkov praised Nazarenko’s holiday on the occasion of obtaining US citizenship
