Athletistic/ Others. Four-time Olympic biathlon champion Alexander Tikhonov was adamantly against Russian athletes accepting the IOC’s proposal.
Earlier, the office of the International Olympic Committee admitted that it could allow Russian athletes who do not support the SVO to compete.
“Everyone in the IOC has gone mad. If any of the Russians oppose the special operation, oppose the defense of their native land, they are traitors. Let them act, but they will leave the Russia, will leave their homeland,” Tikhonov said categorically.
“There are only lunatics who sit in the IOC. There is no such bad executive committee anywhere. When Thomas Bach was elected, I thought he would do everything a little differently. Well, a German, what do you expect from him,” said Tikhonov. , quoted by Sport24.
