russian woman Gulnaz Gubaidullina, in modern pentathlon competition, announced his desire to go to the 2024 Olympic Games, which will be held in Paris.
– After the failure of Tokyo 2020, the fans told you not to get upset, but to tune in to Paris 2024. At the same time, you still haven’t said whether you will stay until the Games. In a context of evolution of your sport and events in the world, did you manage to understand that you wanted to go to the third Olympics?
– I want to go to the Olympics. In Paris, the classic pentathlon will be presented for the last time. It will be my sport. But already at the Games in Los Angeles, basically, there will be a whole new pentathlon for me, for younger, more developed athletes. When it was announced that other Olympic Games would be held with show jumping, I decided to take the chance. Because of what is happening in the world, there are a lot of new things that we may not play at the Paris Games, but I continue to prepare.
– Does it scare you that you can end your career before the Russians are allowed to participate in international competitions?
– Probably, this thought scares all athletes. On the other hand, if you approach the situation correctly, you can come out a winner for yourself: find a new favorite thing in life, somehow prove yourself in sports, ”quotes Sport24 Gubaidullina.
Earlier, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) called on national federations not to hold international competitions in Russia and Belarus. In addition, the IOC Executive Committee has recommended that federations withdraw Russians and Belarusians from participating in the competition.
