After the decision of the International Olympic Committee not to invite the Russian NOC to the 2024 Games on the dates fixed, it is necessary to keep in touch with the IOC, but to save face and not to be humiliated, declared the coach honored with Russia to . Stanislav Yeremin .
The IOC will send out invitations for the Summer Olympics in Paris to all National Committees on July 26. On Thursday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on its official website that the Russian National Olympic Committee will not receive an invitation to the Games on the scheduled date.
“I said earlier that this whole process and this isolation is going on for a long time. And some of the handouts, some of their gestures towards us only underline that it will take a long time. And in this situation, you have to save face, have respect for ourselves, our sport, our basketball, and at the same time, contacts (with the IOC) must be continued, because we still have to come back. But it is clear that this situation will continue for a long time. Nevertheless, under no circumstances should you be humiliated. It turns out that we will not go to the Games, or they will throw us a bone in the form of participation under a neutral flag. And all this speaks of their desire to humiliate us, “said Eremin told a correspondent.
The IOC said it would make a decision on the possible admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to the 2024 and 2026 Games “at the appropriate time, at its discretion and without reference to the results of previous Olympic qualifying competitions”.
In March, the IOC Executive Committee recommended that international federations, if Russians are allowed to start, do so individually, in a neutral status, without participating in team events, and also exclude the participation of athletes associated with the forces of order.
The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
