“My position is the same as that of Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin), because there will be a time when certain statements will still be received from the IOC (International Olympic Committee).
In principle, athletes who have earned the right to participate should probably participate in these events. But in general, of course, I would not recommend traveling in such a humiliating status. As Irina Viner said, this is a shameful status.
Wiener reiterated that Russians should not participate in the Olympics as neutrals
But people who are ready to win gold medals, like wrestlers, will never win again, and the name of a Russian athlete, when he wins, always remains, even without a flag or anthem. Yes, it’s humiliating, but we have to fight, it’s hard,” Tyagachev quotes RIA Novosti.
