The Executive Board of the World Archery Federation (World Archery) opposed the participation of Russian and Belarusian archers in the selection for the 2024 Olympics in Paris in Asia. It is reported by RBC with reference to World Archery.
“There was an assumption that Russians and Belarusians would compete in Asia as neutral athletes. Due to the potential impact on Asian athletes and National Federations, given the knockout system in archery and the balance of continental quotas in the qualification system, the World Archery Executive Board decided that this should not be used as a potential route for these athletes to qualify. for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The World Archery said that if the return to the competition of Russians and Belarusians is confirmed, it will be necessary to determine other opportunities for qualifying for the Games in cooperation with the International Olympic Committee.
Currently, Russians and Belarusians are suspended from participation in competitions under the auspices of World Archery.
According to TASS, the President of the Russian Archery Federation, Vladimir Yesheev, said that the Russians will retain the chances of participating in the Games in Paris even if they are not allowed to qualify for the competition this season. “The Russians will have every chance to win tickets to the Olympics in 2024 if we get admission to the pre-Olympic qualifying tournaments of the next season,” Yesheev said.
