“The briefing on neutral status was not before the Paralympic Games, but even before. We had already been to international competitions before, for example to qualify for the Paralympic Games in Paris, to meet the standards. Of course, they told us all this: about the form, about it what can be done and what cannot be done.
There were some things in these rules that made me angry, but did not surprise me. At first you were outraged by the color of the uniform, but now you accept it as your own and are absolutely calm about the fact that you cannot wear white, blue and red. You begin to understand these things more easily when you already digest them in your head.
The mint and turquoise color outraged me at first. But then, when you get a uniform, when you wear it at competitions and they recognize you in it, they tell you that you are Russian, now this is the color of your uniform, so, to be honest, it does not matter at all, “he quotes Kulinich-Sorokina’s words” Sport-Express.
The Paralympic Games will be held in the French capital from August 28 to September 8. All Russian athletes are allowed to participate in the 2024 Paralympic Games in individual neutral status. Russians will not be allowed to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies of PI-2024, and their medals will not be included in the overall standings.
Earlier, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced that 90 Russian athletes had received accreditation to participate in the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
