Since then, heated discussions have taken place in Russia about the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympic Games under these conditions.
“In the very near future, on the instructions of the president, we will present together with the federations our recommendations for participation in the Olympic Games, but here, from my point of view, it is difficult to find the same approach for all federations. , because international federations have different approaches.
My opinion is this: athletes who have earned the right to participate will participate, but decisions will be made individually by athletes and coaches. For us, in any case, they are Russian athletes,” quotes Matytsin, quoted by TASS.
