Athletistic / Cycling races. Russian cyclist and Olympic medalist Anastasia Voinova spoke about the neutral status of Russian athletes. She called it absurd.

“I am fundamentally against the request for neutral status. I don’t understand at all why athletes are suspended, why should we ask for some kind of neutral status.

The International Cycling Union authorized 36 Russians to participate in their competitions

I think it is absurd to bend over backwards and accept any conditions. I absolutely don’t need them, I can do without their neutral status, ”TASS quotes Voinova.

Previously, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to admit Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France) with a neutral status. A number of restrictions apply. In particular, athletes must not demonstrate support for the conduct of SVO and be members of the military or law enforcement.
