Despite the Torino Olympic games are finished, there are still difficulties appear between the Russian Olympic committee and the general sponsor and the official outfit producer of the Russian team the company Bosco.
Another reason for the Committee to be offended became the absence of some sportsmen at the ceremonial lunch held at the Committee?s place on Luzhnetskaya embankment after the meeting in Kremlin.
The Russian prize-winners of the Olympcs in figure skating and the speed skater Svetlana Zhurov preferred the company of Bosco President Mikhail Kusnirovich and his guests to the company of the Committee President Leonid Tyagachev, the manager of the President?s affairs, the President of the association of winter Olympics and other leaders of domestic sports.
According to one of the Committee Vice Presidents, which wished to remain unnamed, this fact caused "large displeasure, even irritation". "Moreover, after the the meetin with Putin, when Mr. Kusnirovich invited everybody to his place in GUM, it was clearly said that the athletes and the leaders are expected at the Russian Olympic Committe ", - said the Vice President.
