The head of the IOC Bach thanked Macron for the statement on the admission of Russians to the 2024 Olympics in Paris
The head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, and French President Emmanuel Macron held a meeting to discuss the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported on the website of the organization.
The head of the IOC thanked Macron for the statement he made at the G7 summit on the autonomy of sports and the conditions for the admission of Russian and Belarusian to the 2024 Games. Then it was confirmed that the decision on the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in the Olympics in Paris would be made in due time.
On March 28, the 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 participation in the starts.
At the end of February 2022, most sports organizations suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus on the recommendation of the IOC.
