Earlier, the admission criteria were presented by the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach. The IOC has recommended that Russians be allowed to participate in international competitions in a neutral status. This does not apply to command types, law enforcement officials and those who supported a special military operation.
“Since 2016, I have supported the participation of our athletes in the Olympic Games under a neutral flag, without a flag or anthem. I understand what it costs them, preparation requires colossal work.
The IOC has announced the timing of the decision on the admission of Russians to the Olympic Games in 2024
The guys went to the Olympics, came back as our heroes and champions.
Now the situation is quite different. And no one is allowed to divide society, on the contrary, it must be consolidated.
If a decision is made that allows athletes to ride in any status, that’s one thing, but if it doesn’t correspond in any way to the current situation, then we will have to endure more.
And after all, all this does not guarantee the participation of our athletes in the Olympic Games,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta quotes Fetisov.
