Dmitry 92 Posted July 5, 2023 #53 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Seven Russian athletes have appeared in Syria National team squad at Pan Arab Games and some of them have changed names and birthdays. Russian officials in federations claimed they even didn't know about it. Russian ministry of sport claimed that only two of them Milana Mugu (Mrad) (judo) and Alexandra Maximova (gymnastics) changed their citizenship officially and the information about the others on the official Games website is a mistake. https://www.sports.ru/tribuna/blogs/dalniyles/3173691.html#supertop Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by his results, I doubt he'll ever really be visible internationally, but the name is very interesting! Son of? If so, that would explain the Kazakhstan move as well, I believe the big Klevchenya has been Kazakhstan's coach at least for a while. Edited July 17, 2023 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, he is the son and the big Klevchenya is training Golubeva and Silaeva in Kazakhstan too. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, rumors was they would represent . Guess that would have been too much a betrayal for Eteri’s daughter. (Davis is an American citizen, Smolkin has a green card and they both live in the US. Their link to Georgia is… one of Davis’ grandparenrs is from there. Edited July 21, 2023 by NearPup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
