Athletistic / Swimming. Russian swimmer Evgeny Rylov, a two-time Olympic champion, has declared that he will definitely not participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). According to him, the main competitions in 2024 are the Friendship Games and the BRICS Games.
“In any case, I refused the 2024 Olympics. I will participate in either the BRICS Games or the Friendship Games. It depends on what they leave, but it seems that both competitions are left. “
To be honest, I have no idea what World Aquatics plans. Even if it’s not my level of decision-making, everything is taken at another level. I’m just an athlete who performs and shows results. I cannot influence actions on foreign policy,” Rylov was quoted as saying by Match TV.
A few days ago, World Aquatics Executive Director Brent Nowitzki said that the organization may reconsider the admission criteria for Russian athletes before the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). Now, to participate in international competitions, Russians must not only agree to neutrality status, but also sign a statement condemning the actions of the country’s authorities.
The Friendship Games will take place from September 15 to 29 in Moscow and Yekaterinburg. The BRICS Games will be held in Kazan from June 11 to 24.
