Olympic short track champion, 2022 Games silver medalist in speed skating Ruslan Zakharov said that he was worried about the Russian representatives of summer sports and wanted them to perform at the Paris Olympics.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that it was ready to consider the possibility of Russians participating in international competitions. According to German publication Der Spiegel, the IOC President Thomas Bach allowed the participation of Russians in the 2024 Games in a neutral status.
Paris wants to see athletes from all countries at the Olympics. Macron and the mayor of Paris have already said so. I am now very worried about our “letters”, I want them to have a normal chance to qualify and perform. I wish there is no boycott of other countries. The line is very thin – we will be allowed to follow the Belarusians, and many countries could declare a boycott. The IOC must also make money, the sponsors can leave – they also risk making such statements. This is all a world story, but of course we all dream of a fully-fledged Olympics, Zakharov told .
