Olympic bronze medalist in diving Alexandre Bondar said he had no anger against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and had already accepted the fact that he would not be able to participate in the Paris Games.
The French capital will host the 2024 Olympic Games from July 26 to August 11.
— Very few Russian athletes were allowed to participate in the Paris Olympics. How do you react to all these conditions from the IOC, which, in essence, sought to reduce the representation of Russians?
– I don’t let it pass through me. Well, if we don’t go, that means we don’t go, that’s how our destiny turned out. There’s nothing so serious about it. Humility came, I accepted this fact. We move forward, we participate in our competitions.
I have no anger towards the IOC. These emotions have already passed. Of course, every athlete strives to make it to the Olympics. We were brought up from childhood with the idea that the Olympic Games are the main start in the life of an athlete, ”reports a correspondent, reporting Bondar’s words.
