Athletistic/OI-2024. Former absolute junior welterweight world champion Konstantin Tszyu has commented on the Russian Wrestling Federation’s decision to deny athletes entry to the Paris Olympics.

“The wrestlers supported the decision of their Federation not to go to the Olympics. This is the consent of the athletes. Today more than ever, it is important that everyone in Russia supports each other!”

As for those who go to Paris, they will promote sports, even in a neutral status, which is unpopular. One of the most important reasons to participate in the Olympic Games is the opportunity to stand on the podium and hear the anthem of your country in your honor. This is a huge motivation for every athlete! Our athletes will leave without an anthem and symbols, but everyone will know that they are from Russia. I understand their decision to leave, “Sport24 quotes Tszyu.

  • Kovalchuk: “Those who made the decision not to admit Russians to the Olympics will regret it”
