Double Olympic swimming champion Yevgeny Rylov told that he does not attach importance to the statements of the head of the IOC on the participation of countries in the Olympics, because the main thing is actions, not words.
IOC President Thomas Bach has previously declared the need for the participation of all countries in the Olympic Games, including – and even in particular – those in conflict, as this is a rare opportunity for the humanity to unite.
– For me, all the nice words on this topic are in the category of fantasy. The question is what will be done, not what is said, Rylov told . “Words mean nothing. Then there will be another interview in which he will say: well, it didn’t work out. He’ll come up with a lot of nice, smart, beautiful, streamlined words, but in the end he’ll say: it didn’t work. Let’s see what happens next. So far, everyone is in favor of equality, for the performance of all genders. Everyone should participate, except Russia. So far this is what it looks like.
