Star Russian fencers have been admitted to international competitions for the first time since February 2022.

But even army athletes were allowed to attend the World Championships that started this week in Tbilisi, as a result of which such stars as Yana Egoryan, Sofia Velikaya, Olga Nikitina, Marta Martyanova, and many others will be able to compete for gold in the capital of Georgia.
