President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) and three-time Olympic champion Elena Vyalbe said Russians should not go to the Paris Olympics and humiliate themselves in front of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The IOC announced in December 2023 that it would allow Russian athletes who successfully qualified for the 2024 Olympics to have individual neutral status without a flag, anthem or other national symbol. The IOC also banned the participation of athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the SVO. On Tuesday, March 19, it was announced that the IOC Executive Committee did not allow Russians to participate in the parade of athletes during the opening ceremony of the Games in Paris. The organization also said that, according to the most likely scenario, 36 Russian athletes will participate in the 2024 Olympic Games, who will have to sign a special document.
“I have expressed my opinion many times and I will not change it.” There is no need to go to the Olympics in this situation. All. Of course, everyone will make their own decision. We all live in a free country, but it seems to me that we should not humiliate ourselves and kneel before them (the IOC), reports a correspondent in Vyalba.
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11.
