Andrey Filatov has decided personally to head up the Russian mens' team from January next year, according to the RCF site. "Our task at the 2016 Olympiad in Baku is, at the minimum to win a medal", the federation president declared.
We would point out that at the recent world championship, the Russian team went effectively without their chief trainer, and prior to this, the team was headed by Yuri Dokhoian.
