Down-the-line.com/Biathlon. Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasiliev shared his opinion on the situation with the admission of Russians to the 2024 Olympics in Paris (France). The expert doubted that Russian athletes would be allowed to compete.

“Since the IOC is a non-independent organisation, it is most certainly controlled from the outside in the person of Mr. Thomas Bach. The IOC is clearly under pressure from Western countries, so the declaration of the European Parliament can affect in the most serious way.

First, October is too late (to make an admissions decision). Many qualifying matches are already underway. Secondly, the IOC initially sets absolutely unacceptable conditions: our athletes are invited to betray their homeland, and only then will they be able to go to the Olympic Games. Third, no security can be provided to the Russian delegation. There’s not even anything to talk about here. Therefore, I think there will be no such Olympics for our athletes.

The Olympic Games are a global sports festival, the personification of kindness, peace and positive mood. And here everything is exactly the opposite,” RIA Novosti quotes Vasiliev.
