According to IRNA, the second meeting of the Athletes Commission was held while 9 Olympics of our country were not present. At that meeting, a decision was made on the selection of a member of the Executive Board of the National Olympic Committee, as well as the persons who will participate in the election assembly of this committee without consulting the 9 Olympians.
Therefore, due to the protests against this commission, some athletes spoke today (Wednesday) in a press conference hosted by the Wrestling Federation.
“Shahrbanoo Mansoorian” In this press conference, he stated: In the first meeting of the Athletes Commission, I was one of the people who protested against the absence of wrestling champions. At first, they were only supposed to give a verdict, and there was no talk of electing a chairman or vice-chairman. We talked and the same 9 people announced that the wrestlers were also in the meeting.
He continued by stating that I personally wanted to vote for “Hossein Yazdani” for the presidency: “We were then informed that the chairman and vice-chairman should be elected.” Then they called to come to the meeting on Sunday or Monday, and most of the children chose Monday. I was in the race and got a ticket to Tehran, but they suddenly announced that the meeting would be held on Sunday.
Mansoorian stated: I just could not make this happen in the sports community. It was clear that everything was planned for a few people to come and vote for themselves. They did not listen to us and I would like to speak, maybe my words would change the opinions of the voters. We had a meeting today, maybe something will happen and the situation will change.
He added: “It was all professional, Haddadi and Saei pain in our hearts that happened.” The reason for my registration was that I know the concerns of women and the challenges of society, and I understand the difficult conditions. Most women combatants come up with something out of the ordinary. They do not even have much money to go to competitions. I came to see if I could work. On the first day, I said that I am an athlete, but why is the insurance that is denied to me for carpet weaving? I want to be hired and despite the world medals I have, I am passed to different places. Seeing these events, I became careless about it.
He stated: I participated to make a move, but when I saw the commission, I realized that our words have no buyers there. If they had listened to us on the first day and four other athletes had come, none of this would have happened. Athletes did not respect themselves. When athletes themselves do not respect each other, we should not expect them to respect us.
