Athletistic/Other. Two-time Olympic hockey champion State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Fetisov suggested that Russian sports federations put pressure on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to get an answer to the question of the possibility of admitting Russian athletes at the 2024 Olympics as soon as possible. as possible.

  • Fetisov has called for the exclusion of the UK from the Olympic movement

“We must influence the IOC, he recommends that the federations take decisions, but they are not officially fixed anywhere, there are recommendations from Thomas Bach, which do not have official status either.

Perhaps if there is no response to calls from sports leaders, we should contact the UN, perhaps there we can get an official response, we will understand that we should not count on entry to the Olympics. The qualifying competitions will start in March, the worst thing is that the athletes are in the dark about their future, I would not like to be in such a situation. We played during the Cold War, but we were never suspended from competition, there were boycotts, but that’s a completely different situation. The current decisions of the IOC are completely unlimited,” Fetisov said as quoted by TASS.
