Athletistic/OI-2024. Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin said he does not consider the performance of Russian athletes at the Paris Olympics under a neutral flag as something reprehensible.

— You have probably heard in Russia about the participation of our athletes in the Olympic Games under a neutral flag. Part of the public supported them, some prominent athletes of the past sharply criticized it. What is your opinion?

– Remember Beijing (2022 Winter Olympics – approx.), when everyone competed in neutral status. Nobody blamed them then.

— So you support this decision?

“I don’t see anything wrong with that,” Ovechkin noted in an interview with a “Championship” correspondent.
