“We are still lucky.
I can hardly imagine how the Olympians of the 70s and 80s cope.
At one time I was involved in the affairs of sports veterans, and I feel very sorry for the players of the past, who alone have to solve their health problems.
Someone needs to change the joint, someone needs to do serious examinations - and all this is in the order of the general queue.
I would suggest giving Olympic participants a federal benefit, like combat veterans or nuclear industry workers, for example.
Tie them to the FMBA so that they can undergo examinations there, be treated and receive modern high-tech assistance for free, ”Baranova said in an interview with RT.
Earlier, Baranova told how much Russian basketball players received for winning the 1992 Olympics.
