Elena Kostevich does not want to see representatives of the aggressor country at the Paris Games in 2024.
The IOC should reconsider its decision and disqualify Russian athletes from international competition for a longer period of time.
In an interview with XSport, the 2004 Olympic champion said he would not want to see athletes from the aggressor country throughout the preparation phase for the next Games. And there should be no Russians in Paris itself.
“For me, the question is how long will this disqualification last. I mean, before the end of the war, or for the entire Olympic cycle? I’m in favor of the entire Olympic cycle.
The Olympic Truce was violated. I believe that Russian athletes should be disqualified for the Olympic cycle, including Paris 2024. And then the situation. But they certainly shouldn’t be allowed to participate in this Olympic cycle, ”Kostevich said.
