“I took part in the work of the commission in 2018. It is very important for us that Russian athletes remain part of the Olympic movement, so that they are not excluded because of their nationality.

“We analyzed two specific main criteria that were very important for us to make sure that athletes who wanted to participate could participate. With this in mind, we are happy to have several athletes from different sports who will participate in the Paris Olympics,” Hevertz was quoted as saying by TASS.
