President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Stanislav Pozdnyakov on the sidelines of the Russia-Sports Power forum in Kemerovo, he expressed hope that Russian athletes could compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
At the moment there is no decision on the admission of Russians to the next Olympics.
– As for the selection for the 2024 Games. Our common task is to ensure that our athletes are ready to participate in the selection literally the next day, when such an opportunity arises. And all our work should be directed towards that.
The ROC is fully prepared to provide training within its purview. It is important that we have human and material resources that we can use.
Of course, it won’t be easy. Even the logistics itself does not allow us to build routes with confidence, all payments are blocked, which we could notice when challenging the decisions of the CAS. However, work will continue. We hope that we will all participate in the Olympic Games,” said Pozdnyakov.
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
