The head of the 2024 Olympics organizing committee, Estangue, welcomed the admission of Russians
The head of the organizing committee for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Tony Estanguet, spoke about the reaction to the admission of Russian athletes to the competition. Reuters learned about this.
Estangue said that the organizing committee welcomes and respects the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). He stressed that he approves of the participation of athletes without flags, anthems and without participation in team sports. “These delegations will be very small, but they will be welcome at Paris 2024,” added the head of the organizing committee.
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.
