Athletistic / Olympic Games. Russian Vitalina Batsarashkina, two-time Olympic shooting champion, was deprived of the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). Batsarashkina, 27, has not received neutral status from the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF).
“We were given a lot of conditions. In particular, you must not be associated with the army, nor with the Dynamo sports society, nor with DOSAAF, and all Russian athletes must be absolutely neutral. And Vitalina is an officer of the Russian Guard, so there are still no prospects “We have zero. Even I, as a coach, received a refusal, because I myself represent the Dynamo company. “It turns out that now we have neutral athletes – young people, the second echelon, who, unfortunately, have not yet proven themselves,” Kudrina quotes TASS.
Vitalina Batsarashkina won two gold medals at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan). She also has two silver medals at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
On December 8, 2023, the IOC decided to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics with individual neutral status and subject to a number of conditions. It should be noted that athletes from Russia and Belarus can participate in the Paris Games only in individual disciplines, while team sports competitions will be held without the participation of these countries.
The 2024 Olympic Games will be held in the French capital from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
