Athletistic / Others. Olympic speed skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Svetlana Zhurova said that if she had been a Russian athlete, she would not have gone to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). According to Zhurova, Russian athletes may face provocations at the Games.

“If I were in their place, of course, I don’t want that, but I wouldn’t go. There could be provocations, the situation would be so nervous that I can’t even imagine how they will think about sports . They need to keep track of everything – God forbid that they mixed something up, and they will be there alone, even when there were difficult situations at the Olympics, specially trained employees monitored all this. There, this athlete will have to monitor all provocations himself in order to somehow reduce this degree of tension,” RIA Novosti Zhurova quotes.
