Head coach of the Russian diving team Svetlana Moiseeva said that initially the team had a chance to qualify for the Paris Olympics in this sport until 2024.
At the end of February, the executive committee of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that federations not allow Russians and Belarusians to compete due to the situation in Ukraine. IOC member, former World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) boss Craig Reedy said Russia’s performance at the Paris Olympics is unlikely.
– Initially, we had the last chance to qualify for the Games in 2024, because according to the usual mode, the last qualifying start of the Olympic year is the World Cup. Now, already in light of FINA’s statement, we can say that it will be – as we hope, if we are allowed – a chance to qualify for the World Cup, Moiseeva told .
FINA on Tuesday announced the organization of the 2024 World Aquatic Championships in February and its qualifying status for the Paris Games.
