The IOC thanked the Non-Aligned Movement for supporting the admission of Russians to the 2024 Games
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) assessed the position of the Non-Aligned Movement on the admission of Russians to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported on the IOC website.
“The IOC warmly welcomes the support of the 120 member states of the Non-Aligned Movement. We are very encouraged by this strong commitment to the unifying mission of the Olympic Games,” said IOC President Thomas Bach.
Earlier, the Non-Aligned Movement adopted a declaration in which it supported the participation in the Olympics of athletes from all National Olympic Committees, including the national teams of Russia and Belarus. The statement said the move would be “a symbol of the unity of humanity in all its rich diversity.”
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.
