Russian tycoon Alisher Usmanov returns as president of fencing federation
Alisher Usmanov, the sanctioned Russian billionaire, has been re-elected as president of the International Fencing Federation, a position he left in March 2022 due to sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In a recent vote in Tashkent, Usmanov secured 120 votes against 26 for his opponent, Jan Sten Otto Drakenberg. Despite his return, Usmanov faces restrictions that prevent him from working at the FIE's Swiss headquarters or attending many international events, including the 2028 Summer Olympics.
