Athletistic/OI-2022. Journalists from Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail are urging participants in the 2024 Olympics, as well as fans visiting Paris, to ignore Russian athletes. According to them, one should not despise the Russians, but simply not pay attention to them. Earlier, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, during her visit to kyiv, said that the French capital would not accept athletes from Russia and Belarus.

“Russia actively uses its athletes as a propaganda tool. Why should we treat them any differently from the targets of Russian propaganda? Therefore, no greetings. No congratulations at the opening ceremony or during competitions. No handles “No clapping. No need to be rude. People should behave as if Russia just isn’t there,” the article says.

Recall that Russian athletes were allowed to participate in the Paris Games as neutral individual athletes with a special flag and music instead of the anthem developed by the IOC.
