“In his comment on February 26, the head of the press service of the head of state said that there was no consensus in Russia on the issue of the performance of Russian athletes at the Paris Olympic Games. I I completely agree with this statement, which also highlights the significant difference in the approaches of the heads of the Ministry of Sports and the OCD to this issue.
It should be noted that the Russian Olympic Committee supports athletes who consciously choose the other side of the “barricades” and dividing lines that Lausanne has been persistently erecting since February 2022. For them, the IOC conditions are unacceptable, neither in the substance nor in form.
It is also right that only the athletes themselves can make a personal decision about participating in the Olympics in a neutral status and under conditions that many Russians consider humiliating.
In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who is interested in the discussion about the performance of “tennis athletes with Russian passports” at the Paris Games, regardless of their position and opinions at the moment,” said Pozdnyakov .wrote on the Telegram channel.
