The abolition of quotas, according to coaches, will erase the diversity of the species.
Ghanaian sled Akwasi Frimpongin coaches are demanding a quota for African countries for Olympic tobogganing and skeleton.
Coaches are demanding the return of a quota seat from the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The matter was reported by the news agency Reuters, which has seen a letter sent to the IOC. In it, coaches say the abolition of quotas will wipe out diversity in the species.
“The Olympic flag represents all five continents. Right now, one tire is blatantly missing from the sledding sport, ”the coaches see.
Coaches have been told earlier this week that quotas will not be refunded.
