Athletistic / Others. The Polish authorities intend to refuse to participate in the Paris Olympics in 2024 if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allows Russians and Belarusians to participate in the tournament. This was announced by the Minister of Sports and Tourism of Poland Kamil Bortnichuk.

“The boycott is Poland’s strongest card. We say that we have to be potentially ready to use this mechanism.

We can no longer exclude it, but only in a situation where all the other movements, attempts at negotiations, compromise proposals will not meet the understanding of the IOC. We still have time before the Paris Olympics.

Rodnina called on the IOC to announce specific decisions on Russia’s admission to the 2024 Olympic Games

This year, the European Games will be held in Poland – in Krakow. At these European Games, it is 100% confirmed, there will be no athletes from Russia or Belarus under a neutral flag or under another”, RIA Novosti quotes the minister.
