Silver medalist of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, runner Olesya Krasnomovets withdrew her candidacy from the election of the governor of the Sverdlovsk region. The runner was nominated from the party "Patriots of Russia".

The application for the withdrawal of candidacy Krasnomovets filed in the oblizbirkom. The sportswoman could not overcome the municipal filter. A total of 30 signatures were collected at the required minimum of 126.

"When deciding on participation in the elections, I understood with what difficulties my team will face, first of all - the municipal filter. But we did our best: went to the region, met with deputies and active residents, held events, "said Krasnomovets.

The sportswoman thanked the deputies who signed her.

Let us recall that earlier documents were submitted by the Liberal Democrat Igor Toroshchin, the "pensioner" Dmitry Sergin, the Social Democrat Dmitry Ionin, the Communist Alexei Parfenov, the candidate from the "Greens" Konstantin Kiselev.
