Representatives of a terrorist country may be allowed to qualify for the 2024 Olympics
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky had a conversation with the President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach and called for the extension of Russia’s isolation in international sports.
“Since February, 184 Ukrainian athletes have died from the actions of Russia, and she herself uses sports for propaganda purposes. I said this during a conversation with the President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach.
“And also called on the IOC to contribute to the restoration of the sports infrastructure of Ukraine destroyed by Russia. A fair response for a terrorist country can only be complete isolation in the international arena. In particular, this also applies to international sporting events.”
Earlier, the International Olympic Committee upheld the sanctions against Russia and Belarus. However, the IOC will consider the idea of allowing athletes from Russia and Belarus to qualify for the 2024 Olympics under the auspices of the Olympic Council of Asia.
The full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine continues for the 294th day.
