Olympic medalist in speed skating Olga Fatkoulina said that for her it would not be a question of whether she should participate in the Olympic Games in neutral status.
Russian speed skaters have been suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
“When the International Skating Union (ISU) gives its verdict, I hope it will be a reasonable decision.
— If they offer the same conditions as the Paris Games, will you come?
– I think so, 100%. Everyone knows who you are. Not going there… It’s very difficult for an athlete. Unfortunately, I didn’t watch the Olympics in Paris, but only because I simply didn’t have enough time. I’m a mother, an athlete, and now also a coach of players, these two months have been very busy. “I won’t pay attention on principle” – it doesn’t concern me. I would love to watch the competitions on TV if I had time. Even if we are not allowed to attend the 2026 Olympics, I will definitely watch these Games, ”Fatkulina told .
The Paris Olympics ended on August 11. 15 Russian athletes competed in neutral status, without national symbols.
