Head of the Russian Wrestling Federation Mikhail Mamiashvili on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on “” said that the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the Olympic champion in Greco-Roman wrestling Jean Beleniuk seen in anti-Russian rhetoric, had previously asked to be taken to Russia.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on January 25 that it would consider the possibility of allowing Russians and Belarusians who do not actively support the NWO to participate in international competitions in a neutral status. In most sports, against the background of the situation in Ukraine, Russians were deprived of the opportunity to participate in international tournaments. IOC chief Thomas Bach believes that Russian and Belarusian athletes could participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in a neutral status. After that, Beleniuk said that on February 3, the General Assembly of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine will consider the possibility of a boycott of the 2024 Olympics. The athlete then posted a screenshot of the agenda of the meeting, one of the points of which is the boycott of the 2024 Olympics.
– Jean Beleniuk, a brilliant athlete, champion of the Olympic Games, came a few years ago and cried with tears so that we could take him to Russia, because he received such epithets. He refused because I explained a simple thing to him. You must endure. He asked to make an effort on himself. Bad guys call you names like that. Today he would become a patriot,” Mamiashvili said on .
In February last year, the IOC executive committee recommended that sports federations prevent Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
In August 2021, Beleniuk reported being the victim of racism in Kyiv by unknown youths. Jean was born in the capital of Ukraine to a Rwandan and a Ukrainian. During his career, the 32-year-old athlete, in addition to winning the 2020 Olympics, became the runner-up in the 2016 Games, won the World Championship twice (2015, 2019) and the European Championship three times (2014, 2016, 2019).
