Sadghobelashvili notes that political pressure on athletes and forcing them to act according to a narrow party agenda and the agenda of agents engaged from abroad is unacceptable. According to him, Gvelesiani's position shows that he has an independent vision, which he does not shy away from expressing. Imedi+2
