Athletistic / Others. Irina Rodnina, three-time Olympic champion in figure skating and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, spoke about the admission of Russian athletes to the Olympic Games in Paris (France). She criticized the International Olympic Committee (IOC), accusing the organization of excessive demands.

Previously, the IOC allowed Russians to have neutral status under a number of conditions and restrictions.

The IOC said Russian pranksters called the organization

“Each athlete who has received or will obtain the right to participate in the Olympic Games will make their own decision, as will the sports federations and the National Olympic Committee. And we must clearly weigh how this will come back to us: whether we compete at the Games or, at the opposite, we will not do it.

The IOC has already revealed so much that it is, on the whole, Stakhanovists in its stupidity and endless statements. I would like to remind them that in sport there is a wonderful category of fair play. I don’t know what game the IOC is currently playing,” Rodnina quotes RIA Novosti.
