Sergey Klevtsov, personal trainer of the Russian athlete Sergei Shubenkov does not consider the statement of the US Olympic Committee on the organization’s support for the admission of Russian athletes to the 2024 Olympics to be significant.
Previously, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) had supported the idea of allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris if they do not compete under their country’s flags or under their colors.
All these statements are non-binding. Some called, some didn’t. If that’s true, then thank God I totally agree. If this is some kind of populism… Not so long ago, Pozdnyakov (president of the ROC – approx. “”) also said that we will soon be at the Olympics. As soon as we appear at the Games, then we will talk. I have seen many things in my life, and I evaluate some things by concrete actions, not by words. You never know who said what in which Olympic committee, – said Klevtsov “”.
On February 28, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that international federations prevent Russians and Belarusians from participating in competitions due to events in Ukraine. Many federations have followed these recommendations. On December 9, most participants at the Olympic summit agreed on the need to keep sanctions against Russian and Belarusian sports in place.
