Double Olympic champion Vic Sauvage who received a Russian passport in 2012, told he supports athletes changing their sporting citizenship in the face of international restrictions.
At the end of March, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced recommendations for the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions in neutral status. Recommendations include individual admission, neutral status, banning participation in team sports, and banning participation of athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the SVO.
— Do you support athletes who change their sporting citizenship in current realities?
– Yes. This is life, we live it once. You must do what is best for you. I think that people who condemn the change in sports citizenship can themselves leave the country under favorable circumstances. We don’t condemn hockey players who play and earn a lot of money in the NHL,” Wild told .
