“The monstrosity of the situation is that few people remember the heroes of Friendship-84… Almost no one… They remember and know those heroes who shone either before, in 80 in Moscow, or after, in 88 in Seoul.
And the current Olympic champions who are talking about boycotting Paris 24 or Milan 26 are very disingenuous… They already have Olympic gold and a substantial sports pension. And by and large they don’t care about current athletes,” Guberniev wrote on Telegram.
Currently, Russian athletes are suspended from international competitions. It is unclear whether they will perform at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, even in neutral status.
