Athletistic / Others. Russian skeleton athlete Olga Denshchikova (Potylitsyna before her marriage) believes that the IOC’s decision not to allow her to participate in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang (South Korea) was one of the most important moments most difficult of his career.
“The Pyeongchang Olympics turned out to be very disappointing. It was probably one of the most difficult times of my career. We wanted to play there with my husband. Right before he flew to the Pyeongchang Olympics. 2018 we played in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on February 14.
I’m sorry for those who didn’t go to the Olympics with their flag and anthem. It’s probably impossible to convey the emotions you’re feeling.
The IOC has created a new Olympic motto: “Faster, higher, stronger – together”. At the same time, they take and drive out Russia and Belarus. I think this is all illogical. So they contradict each other. It is not normal. Everything is only getting worse…” – Sport-Express quotes Denshchikova.
On November 22, 2017, by decision of the International Olympic Committee for violation of anti-doping rules, the results of her performance at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi were canceled and she was banned for life from participating in the Olympic Games. An appeal was quickly filed and on February 1, 2018, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld it and overturned the lifetime ban from participating in the Olympic Games for violation of anti-doping rules. However, she was never able to participate in the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang.
