Olympic gymnastics champion Nikita Nagorny said he would decide whether to continue his career after the verdict of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on the admission of Russians to the tournaments.
– For me today, probably, the main motivation is the Olympic Games. In any case, I await the final decision of the IOC, which will be taken next year. Let me remind you that in March 2023 we will host the European Championship – this is the final departure of the selection for the Olympics. If we cannot participate in this tournament, we will not go to Paris 2024. Accordingly, for me it will be a question of continuing my career as an active Olympic athlete, – Metaratings.ru quotes Nagorny.
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, the majority of participants at the Olympic summit agreed on the need to keep the sanctions against Russian and Belarusian sports in place.
Nagorny won gold and two bronze medals at the Tokyo Olympics.
