The head of the ROC, Stanislav Pozdnyakov, said that Russia did not receive invitations to the Asian Games
President of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) Stanislav Pozdnyakov denied Russia’s invitation to the Asian Games. He commented on the situation in Telegram.
“At the moment, the ROC has not received any invitations to participate in the Asian Games, and without this, it makes no sense to consider and discuss any hypothetical options,” he said. The head of the organization added that this is reminiscent of the March recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), following which many practical decisions were not made.
Earlier on July 8, Inside the Games reported that the Russians would be allowed to compete in neutral status and would not be eligible for medals. It was noted that the decision on admission was made in order to give the Russians the opportunity to take part in the selection for the 2024 Olympic Games.
