Five-time Olympic French biathlon champion Martin Fourcade understands that the 2024 Olympics in Paris without the participation of Russian athletes will be “poorer”, says the host and commentator of “” Dmitri Guberniev .
Previously, Fourcade had supported the possible return of Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions, saying he would “be ashamed of his country” if Russians and Belarusians were not allowed in the Summer Games in Paris.
– There is a big controversy, there are people who are for, there are those who are against, so we are waiting for what the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will say. There is still huge opposition, and people who want to keep us out support discrimination based on nationality.
Fourcade acts here not only as an educated person, but also as an employee of the organizing committee of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Marten understands that the Olympics will be poorer without the Russians.
Johannes Be has a different position, he has the right to say so. Johannes is against ours, but about the Russian handball player Ani Vyakhireva, who plays for the Norwegian club (“Vipers” – editor’s note), not only will we not ask her, but we will simply shut her up. It would be interesting to hear how he would assess the decision of the Norwegian management and team owners to invite Vyakhireva. Here, I am completely on Anna’s side. The question, of course, is not for her, but for those who denounce the performance of our athletes, Guberniev told .
At the end of January, the IOC announced that it would consider the possibility of allowing Russians and Belarusians who did not actively support the SVO to participate in international competitions in a neutral status. At the moment, there are no specific criteria for possible admission.
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
