Athletistic/ Others. Recently, Lithuanian Minister of Education, Science and Sports Jurgita Syugzhdinene said that 35 countries are ready to demand that athletes from Russia and Belarus be excluded from the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the French capital. This was expressed by the three-time Olympic champion and deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Irina Rodnina.
– Very questionable words. How are these 35 countries going to demand the elimination of Russia from the Olympic Games? Or maybe they won’t all come to Paris together to demonstrate? It’s a bit weird. The IOC takes its decision on the basis of the Olympic Charter, which these 35 countries propose to forget.
We don’t need to make any sudden moves in this situation. If the IOC gives in to the pressure and accepts the complete suspension of the Russians, we will have to file a complaint. There are no grounds for withdrawal, – Sport24 quotes Rodnina.
