Vice-President of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) Gennady Shipuline noted that it is even difficult for him to imagine that the 2024 Olympics could take place without Russian athletes.
At the end of October, it became known that the Russian men’s and women’s volleyball teams were not allowed to participate in the qualifying tournament for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
– I can’t make predictions. In a nightmare, I cannot even imagine that the Olympic Games will take place without our athletes. Victory should only be won on the sports field. Only sport, only the world, – Metaratings.ru quotes Shipulin.
In February, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended not allowing athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete due to the situation in Ukraine. Many federations have followed these recommendations.
