olympic champion gymnast David Belyavsky said he saw no reason to change sport citizenship.
– Most athletes trained in Russia, all coaches and specialists trained here. Now grab and go? Well, maybe it is. But why?
— Many will participate in the Olympics.
– Do you know how the citizenship change process takes place? And when can I compete in the Olympics after changing my nationality? It is, firstly, a difficult process, and secondly, in my opinion, three years must pass after the change of nationality to start playing. They will not be able to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics. In 2028, everything may have already changed, so it makes sense to leave,” quotes Metaratings.ru Belyavsky.
In March 2023, the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC ) recommended that the international federations, if the Russians are allowed to start, do so individually, in a neutral status, without participating in the team events, and also exclude the participation of athletes associated with law enforcement and expressing their support at the SVO. The IOC will make a separate decision on the admission of Russians to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
