Athletistic/Tennis. Honorary President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Alexander Zhukov expressed in an interview with Match TV his positive attitude towards the decision of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) to admit Russian tennis players and Belarusians to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in the status of neutral athletes.

“This is good news, especially when compared to the decisions of other federations. The decision to participate or not in the Olympic Games must be made by the athletes themselves. It is important to have an open discussion and make a joint decision. The Chairman of the Ministry of Sports and the ROC expressed the desire that the decisions be unanimous,” – noted Zhukov.

The Paris Olympic Games are scheduled from July 26 to August 11.
