The International Olympic Committee (IOC) must remember the Olympic values and re-read the charter, and not look for traps in order to somehow annoy Russia, said the president of the Russian Olympic Federation. ski. Elena Vyalbe .
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 Russian athletes to participate in the athletes’ parade at 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.
— It seems to me that the International Olympic Committee has been doing something for a long time that it’s not really supposed to do. It seems to me that they need to take the charter and read why this organization was created, which should be at the forefront. As far as I remember, no one has canceled the fact that athletes participate in the Olympic Games. I think the International Olympic Committee should take care of this and not look for traps to annoy Russia in one way or another, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Vyalba’s words.
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11.
