“I believe that nothing is impossible, and by 2036 it is really possible to prepare a competitive team that can impose a struggle on China and the United States.
Take even me.
I am a four-time Olympic champion.
Did I think before that I could achieve something like this?
But in life everything is real, the main thing is to want and do, "Nemov told RT.
According to him, it is necessary to start working today, regardless of whether Russia gets the right to host the Games.
“First of all, we need to work on those sports in which the most medals are played at the Olympics: gymnastics, swimming and so on.
We need to revive athletics in a country that, unfortunately, is mired in scandals.
In these forms, we must ensure ourselves a good chance of rewards.
All of them will then go to the team's piggy bank.
If we take more global things, it is difficult to single out one thing, for example, improving the sports infrastructure in Russia, "Nemov said.
He stressed that he means the need to improve the conditions for training in sports schools, the development of sports medicine and the training of coaches.
Recall that Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is considering the possibility of holding OI-2036.
The competition can be hosted by St. Petersburg and Kazan.
Earlier, the President of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) Mikhail Mamiashvili expressed confidence that the Olympics will give the country a chance to get out of the artificially created isolation.
