The IOC asked to allow neutral athletes from Russia to the 2024 Olympics
International sports federations have asked the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow neutral athletes from Russia who have qualified or have the opportunity to qualify for the Games to the 2024 Paris Olympics. This was reported by the IOC press service, TASS reports.
“Representatives of international summer sports federations have asked the IOC to declare eligible to participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games those neutral athletes who have qualified or will qualify,” the statement said.
They also called on the IOC to resolve the issue “as soon as possible” to bring clarity to all Olympic qualification procedures and for all athletes concerned.
Earlier, IOC President Thomas Bach said that the Olympics in Paris would not be cancelled. In his opinion, there are many wars between governments and countries in the world, but athletes have always taken part in the Olympics, as this is consistent with the Olympic mission.
Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Angelina Melnikova assessed her chances of performing at the 2024 Games. According to her, it is difficult for her to motivate herself; her training is not at full capacity. At the same time, the gymnast added that if necessary, you can get into optimal shape in three months.
