The Head of the Handball Federation of Russia Sergey Shishkarev commented on the possible combination of the posts of the sports minister and the Head of the ROC by Mikhail Degtyarev.
 
 — I support this decision. The main thing is that the centralization of power would lead to the concentration of resources, primarily finance, the concept of prioritization would become beneficial to Russian sport, elite sports wouldn’t emerge in the circumstances of massive character of other sports. In such difficult times, when we are deprived of the opportunity to perform in the international arena, it’s time to keep order at home. It is very important to conduct an inventory of all resources, coordinate federations, like five federations of gymnastics were united in one, for instance. If sport is popularized, as it was announced during the meeting of the Presidential Council for Physical culture and sports, it will give rise to sports stars, and they will motivate to massiveness, — the Metaratings portal quotes Sergey Shishkarev’s words.
