2020 Olympic Taekwondo Champion Vladislav Larin On the air of the show “Above Olympus” on , he recounted the difficulties he faced at the beginning of his career.
Larin, 28, is a world champion and two-time European champion.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has not allowed four licensed Russian taewondo athletes to compete in the Paris Olympics: Larin, Maxim Khramtsov, Tatiana Minina and Polina Khan.
— When I started training, we trained in schools, on parquet, barefoot. There were nail heads sticking out. What’s to talk about? And now children and young athletes have the necessary coverage, the necessary equipment that can be left in the gym, “Larin said on the air of the program “Above Olympus Taekwondo” on .
The IOC announced in December 2023 that it would allow Russian athletes who successfully qualified for the 2024 Olympics to have individual neutral status without a national flag, anthem or other symbol.
