Athletistic/OI-2024. Stanislav Pozdnyakov, President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), expressed his reaction to Latvia’s request to ban Russian athletes from participating in the Paris Olympics. Previously, 80 deputies of the Latvian Seimas addressed this request to French President Emmanuel Macron.

“I generally avoid commenting on the actions of my colleagues from other countries because they do obvious stupid things. These calls will achieve nothing because they are extremely politicized. As a representative of the Olympic family, I declare that this is unacceptable,” Pozdniakov stressed in an interview with RIA Novosti. The Paris Olympic Games are scheduled from July 26 to August 11.
