The IOC made a new statement on the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympics

Bach said that the IOC has postponed the decision on the participation of Russian athletes in the 2024 Olympics

The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, during a press conference broadcast on the organization’s YouTube channel, made a new statement on the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Bach stated that the discussion of this issue was postponed. He stressed that the IOC reserves the right to resolve this issue at the appropriate time, even if the Russians and Belarusians qualify according to the rules of their federation. It is noted that the ban on the use of national symbols, holding competitions and inviting officials from these countries continues to apply.

Earlier on March 28, Bach supported the participation of Russian athletes in tournaments in a neutral status. He stressed that there were no incidents related to the safety of the competition at any of the tournaments where the Russians participate.

At the end of February 2022, most sports organizations suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus on the recommendation of the IOC. The decision on the participation of representatives of these countries in the 2024 Olympics has not yet been made.
