A famous Ukrainian athlete wants to compete in Paris in 2024.
Yaroslav Maguchy spoke against the boycott of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. According to the famous Ukrainian high jumper, if our country refuses to perform, it will be a defeat for Ukraine. After all, the whole world will follow the successes of Russians and Belarusians, but not Ukrainians.
“In fact, I think it’s a very weak position to boycott the Olympics. We have to do everything to prevent this from happening. But not to compete in the Olympics.
This is the biggest competition that everyone is watching who hasn’t. If there are no Ukrainian athletes there, it’s a failure, honestly.
I really hope we can convey our opinion to the IOC and everyone. What is happening now in our country, is not something in the head.
Many Russian athletes support this regime, many are afraid. But I don’t know what it would look like for them to sign some piece of paper that they don’t support.
If we talk about athletics, they perform with the emblem of the CSKA club – this is support for the army, I think, support for genocide,” Maguchy Suspilne sports quoted the words.
It should be noted that now the IOC will consider the issues of the entry of Russians and Belarusians into international competitions.
Earlier, the NOC of Ukraine criticized the IOC for the initiative to accept the Russians at the Olympic Games-2024.
