Athletistic/ Others. Today, March 6, the decision of the International Paralympic Committee was known. The organization will not allow Russians and Belarusians to attend the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Paris. The honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova spoke about this.

“We don’t allow entire teams to compete, but individual athletes want to go because they are ready. For many, it’s their only chance to win the Olympics or Paralympics. It’s everyone’s business, even if we have to take into account that the country helped them train; the athletes paid nothing. Neither for the coach, nor for the sports facilities. But in fact, athletes often miss the opening ceremony because they are training at that time, Tarasova said according to RIA Novosti.
