Irina Rodnina called the IOC conditions for Russia’s admission to the 2024 Olympics unrealistic
Three-time Olympic champion in figure skating, State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina appreciated the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to admit the country to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Her words are quoted by Bookmakers Rating.
“I see no reason for joy. The IOC generously allowed a few people to go to the Olympic Games,” Rodnina said. She called the conditions unrealistic and believed that only athletes who would not qualify for medals would go to the competition.
On December 8, the IOC announced the admission of Russians and Belarusians to the Olympics in Paris. They will be able to take part in the tournament as Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN). At the same time, athletes who support a special operation in Ukraine, or who have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to participate in the Games.
The Olympic Games in Paris will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
