2010 Winter Olympics silver medalist in cross-country skiing Alexander Panjinsky on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on “”, said Russian sports officials must focus on restoring children’s rights on the international stage.
In March, the IOC announced recommendations on the admission of Russian athletes to international competitions. These include individual clearance, status neutrality, banning team sports, and banning athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the CWO.
“Actually, it’s a terrible situation. It started earlier. It’s the pressure from foreign athletes and fans.
Most sports don’t have good prizes like tennis. At the age of Polina Kudermetova, who can afford a trip to Sweden herself. And at his age, most athletes are unpaid.
We need to think now about who will represent our country in 10 years. Today, many children do not see a positive outcome to a sports career.
If now our children do not perform at international competitions, they will not have contact. And there, they will not know that our children are not linked to military structures. Our sports leaders must focus on restoring children’s rights.
Children must be supported by the state and companies. Not only to support active athletes, but extra emphasis needs to be placed on children. I see more opportunities to restore the rights of children to speak out on the international stage. Maybe foreign fans won’t be so vicious towards our child athletes,” Panzhinsky said on .
The Summer Olympics will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
