Athletistic/ Others. The IOC has admitted Russian athletes to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. However, to participate, a certain number of conditions must be met. These include participation only in a neutral status, without a flag or anthem. The head of the ROC, Stanislav Pozdnyakov, spoke about this.

– Athletes are the most patriotic part of our compatriots; they train and prepare all their lives to perform under their country’s national flag and, if victorious, to hear its anthem. I am sure that this is and will be the case in the future, because it is impossible to imagine that an athlete participates individually in some competitions, and then he will behave alone, he will not feel the support of his country,” TASS quotes Pozdnyakov as saying.
