Athletistic / Others. Two-time Olympic biathlon champion Dmitry Vasiliev shared his opinion on the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris (France). According to Vasiliev, Russian Paralympic athletes should not go to Paris.

“Russia does not need to go to the Paralympics. I have repeatedly said that we do not need to go to these political Olympics or the Paralympics, where only humiliation awaits us.

The French Foreign Ministry has refused to give reasons why it did not issue accreditations to Russian journalists for the Paralympic Games.

We were not invited to the opening ceremony, let alone the closing ceremony. Why do we need such humiliation?

We are a self-sufficient country. We are not on the same wavelength with incomprehensible people who are trying to humiliate us. I do not understand our athletes who want to go there. Why is this necessary? “Sport24 quotes Vasiliev.

Earlier it was reported that 85 Russian athletes went to the Paralympics. They will perform in a neutral status.
