President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov said that the world record holder Evgenia Chikunova has independently decided to refuse to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, and it is now too late to talk about the bid.
Previously, Chikunova, who represents St. Petersburg in Russian competitions, refused to participate in the Games. On Thursday, a project was published on the website of the St. Petersburg government, according to which the winners of the 2024 Olympic Games in this city will receive 5 million rubles.
– Everyone makes their own choice. It was his decision (refusing the Olympic Games).
— Now that there is information about the prize money, can this decision be changed?
“It is already theoretically impossible in terms of application,” Salnikov told .
The Paris Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
