Athletistic/ Others. 2006 Olympic speed skating champion Svetlana Zhurova spoke about the restrictions imposed on Russian athletes by the IOC on the eve of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
According to Zhurova, Russian athletes are considered second-class athletes.
At the 2024 Olympics, Russian athletes will have a special flag and music instead of the anthem.
“The IOC simply set humiliating conditions. And if I understand correctly, they can be further strengthened.
Russian athletes are treated like second-rate athletes,” Jourova said, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
