“At first, of course, it can happen. But, secondly, the President of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, in my opinion, clearly confirmed that he will not go to provocations with boycotts. Boycott something hypothetically – for what? It’s just political public relations, an attempt to exert political pressure. Nobody knows exactly what the circumstances will be after a while. Such statements are made now just to sound off and stay on the agenda,” Zhurova commented in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
Recall that the IOC has not yet announced its decision regarding the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the Paris Olympics. This decision will not be made before October.
