French President Macron confirmed that the decision on the participation of Russians in the Games will be made in the summer
French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed the timing of the decision on the participation of Russian athletes in the 2024 Olympic Games. His words are quoted by TASS.
“The decision is expected in the summer and will depend on the circumstances and developments in the conflict,” said the head of state, which will host the 2024 Games. He noted that the decisions already taken by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) do not affect the period of the Olympics.
On February 8, French government spokesman Olivier Veran announced that a decision on the admission of Russians to the Paris Olympics is expected in the summer. He added that the authorities will continue to implement international sanctions against Russia.
On January 25, the IOC announced that it was considering the possibility of individual admission to competitions for Russian and Belarusian athletes. Only those athletes who did not support the conduct of a special operation in Ukraine and did not violate anti-doping rules will have a chance to get permission to compete in international tournaments.
The Paris Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
