Dorothea Wierer, speaking about the admission of Russians, said that sport should unite
Italian biathlete Dorothea Wierer spoke about the return of Russians to international tournaments. This was reported by Adnkronos.
According to the athlete, she is often asked about this. “I believe that sport should unite, and not divide even more. I just hope that this situation will end for everyone and we will try to return to normal life,” Wierer said.
In May, four-time world champion Wierer spoke about an offer from the Russian Playboy magazine to conduct a candid photo shoot. She explained that she turned down the offer because she didn’t feel confident enough to pose nude.
On March 28, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recommended that Belarusians and Russians who do not support the special operation in Ukraine be allowed to compete in neutral status. However, athletes associated with the armed forces or security forces of their countries are recommended not to be allowed to participate in tournaments.
