Klishina said that Russians need to agree to the terms of the IOC for the sake of the Olympics
Russian long jumper Daria Klishina gave advice to domestic athletes about performing in a neutral status. Her words are quoted by “Championship”.
The athlete said that it is necessary to agree to the conditions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in order to participate in the Olympic Games. “This is the only chance for which a person trains and works all his life. “Sport is outside of politics,” she said.
In March, the IOC recommended allowing Belarusians and Russians who did not support the special military operation in Ukraine to compete in neutral status. At the same time, athletes associated with the armed forces or security agencies of their countries are recommended to be excluded from participation in tournaments.
Klishina moved to the United States in 2013, where she has lived and trained ever since. The athlete is a two-time European champion and silver medalist at the 2017 World Championships. She took part in the Tokyo Olympics, but failed to make it to the finals of the tournament after being injured during qualifying.
