“Bach will be cursed by many generations of athletes.” Mamiashvili spoke harshly about the IOC chief

President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach is directly responsible for the “shameful” decisions made by the organization in recent years, the head of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) told . Mikhail Mamiashvili .

Bach announced on Saturday that he would not run again and proposed holding elections in March 2025. In October 2023, at the 141st IOC session in Mumbai, members of the organization proposed amending the Olympic Charter to re-elect a German for a third presidential term.

“I don’t think anything will change if he leaves.” But unfortunately, Bach was a test for the IOC. And this test was a complete failure. The last years under Bach’s leadership are one of the most shameful pages in the history of the Olympic movement. It seems to me that this time can be compared to the time when the Olympic Games were held in Nazi Germany. Unfortunately, the most shameful decisions of the IOC were tested under this scoundrel. And the worst thing is that Bach himself is a former athlete and Olympic champion. He came from those Jesuits who chose him. I don’t know how he will live, because Bach will be cursed by many generations of athletes.

“It was he who allowed the demonic bacchanalia that took place at the opening of the Paris Olympics. This is where the deep meaning of the dehumanization of all the traditional principles that the Olympic movement adhered to was given. And first of all, the fault here lies with the leader, namely Thomas Bach. This is his direct fault, and there is no forgiveness for him,” Mamiashvili told .

Bach has led the IOC since 2013. He was first appointed to lead the organization for eight years, and in 2021 he was re-elected for a four-year term, which according to the current Olympic Charter should be his last.
