Tournament for Occupiers with Disabilities: Reaction of the International Paralympic Committee has Emerged.

After the propaganda event 'Sitting Volleyball Cup 'Heroes of Our Time' was held in Russia, the International Paralympic Committee decided to suspend the membership of the Russian Committee until further discussion at the General Assembly in 2025. Conducting such events contradicts the rules of this sports organization.

'The membership of the Paralympic Committee of Russia is partially suspended, and we will discuss this topic again in 2025 at the next General Assembly in Seoul' - informed the main spokesperson of the IPC.

In the competitions, the team from Buryatia won, Moscow took second place, and the bronze medal went to the team from the Transbaikal region. Representatives of the organization noted that this event was important to support the participants and increase their motivation.

In the 'Sitting Volleyball Cup' competition in Russia, winners were determined in various categories, but conducting such events elicited a negative reaction from the international sports community and led to the suspension of the Russian Committee's membership in the IPC. The head of the Russian Paralympic Committee believes that the events are important for supporting athletes and their motivation.
