The Russian Athletics Federation (RusAF) is the governing body for athletics in Russia. It oversees the organization and promotion of track and field events, including running, jumping, and throwing disciplines. The federation is responsible for setting rules, organizing competitions, and supporting athletes at various levels, from grassroots to elite. In recent years, the RusAF has faced challenges, particularly regarding issues of doping and compliance with international regulations. As a result, the federation has worked to implement reforms and improve its practices to regain full membership in the World Athletics organization, which governs international athletics.
