Athletistic / Olympic Games. Two-time Russian Olympic fencing champion Yana Yegoryan spoke about the possible participation of Russian athletes in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). Russians can participate in the 2024 Olympic Games exclusively in individual neutral status.
“My opinion has always been on the side of the athletes. I believe it is their job, their goals, their dreams. Any athlete who has the opportunity to go to the 2024 Olympic Games should take it. Even if it means a neutral status. We all know very well that it is our man who speaks!
We all have a Russian passport and love the country we live in. But there is something internal, your own business, that you have been dedicated to for many years. Why should you be deprived of this opportunity? » Izvestia quotes Yegoryan.
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.
