International Olympic Committee (IOC ) investigates incident with Israeli judoka Peter Paltchik regarding a possible violation of the Olympic Charter during the Paris Olympic Games, said IOC communications director Mark Adams.
Finger won the bronze medal at the Games in the weight category up to 100 kg.
— Israeli judoka Peter Palchik, who won bronze, celebrated his medal by kissing the military flag. Earlier, a video was also broadcast from the Olympic Village, in which he spoke enthusiastically about the courage of the Israeli soldiers. The Olympic Charter states that one of the fundamental Olympic principles is to promote peace and that athletes are prohibited from making political statements, including using political flags. Is this a violation of the Olympic Charter, and what could be the consequences?
– I have not seen it. We continue to remind the NOCs to respect the rules regarding athletes’ speech. We will look into this issue. We will remind the NOCs that they must ensure compliance with the rules.
— Are you going to remind the athlete who finished the performance?
— We will inform the NOC of the need to respect the rules.
– So there will be no consequences?
“We’ll see what happens,” Adams said at the briefing.
The Paris Olympics will end on August 11.
