Plenum of the Czech Olympic Committee adopted a resolution against Russia’s participation in the 2024 Games
The plenary session of the Czech Olympic Committee (COV) approved a draft resolution against the participation of the national teams of Russia and Belarus in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported on the website of the organization.
“The COV Plenum does not agree with any form of participation of Russia and Belarus in the selection for the 2024 Olympics, as well as in the tournament itself, during the military conflict in Ukraine,” the organization said in a statement.
On March 28, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that Belarusians and Russians who did not support the special operation in Ukraine be allowed to compete in a neutral status. At the same time, athletes from Russia and Belarus associated with the armed forces or security agencies of their countries are recommended to be suspended from participating in tournaments.
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.
