Athletistic/OI-2024. The Russian Rowing Federation (RFR) announced the decision of Russian rowers not to participate in qualifying competitions and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported by the press service of the organization.

The European qualifying regatta will take place April 25-28 in Szeged, Hungary, and the final qualifying regatta will take place in Lucerne, Switzerland May 19-21.

FSSR President Alexei Svirin noted that the current situation contradicts sports standards and causes concern among athletes. The Federation declares itself ready to participate in international competitions under equal and legal conditions, but rejects participation in discriminatory conditions and with uncertain consequences, especially if financial obligations are associated with it.
