The International Olympic Committee (IOC) could start returning Russian athletes to international competitions from the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics, says Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova .
On Tuesday, the IOC Executive Committee will summarize the results of consultations on the status of Russian and Belarusian athletes.
“Of course, I am interested in the formula for returning to international competitions that the IOC will propose tomorrow.
I think the return will start with the Winter Youth Olympics – they will be held in January 2024. In relatively neutral South Korea. Teenagers under 18 take part (in the past, in Lausanne, I didn’t trust my age a bit, which I still regret). Why Yuoi? Removing minors and children from the international sports movement is totally politically incorrect, even in the West the vast majority will not understand. And for the IOC it will be such a trial balloon – how everything goes, – wrote Stepanova on the Telegram channel.
The Winter Youth Olympic Games will be held in Gangwon-do (South Korea) in January-February 2024.
