Athletistic / Others. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach. Medvedev compared Bach to the organizer of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Karl Diem.

“According to International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Bach, if sport assumes the role of arbiter in every conflict, this will put an end to international sport. That is why it must be politically neutral.

Lucescu said Russian and Ukrainian clubs should hold friendly tournaments

However, before that, he recommended international federations not to allow Russian athletes to participate in international competitions for an obvious political reason, namely the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

What a wise, sincere and consistent person! This great friend of international sport proves to be a true heir of Karl Diem, the organizer of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. Our athletes will never forget him.

PS: I wonder what he will do with Israeli athletes?” Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.
