The Ministry of Sports and the ROC will study the conditions of the IOC and make a decision on the participation of Russians in the Olympic Games 2024
Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin spoke about the conditions of the International Olympic Committee for the participation of Russians in the 2024 Olympic Games (OI). His words are reported by RIA Novosti.
“The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and I will study the regulations that the IOC will formulate and will make a decision in the interests of athletes and, of course, our great country, which is the guarantor of the development of international sports,” Matytsin said.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the IOC’s decision to admit Russians to the 2024 Games. “If these are politically motivated artificial conditions aimed at cutting off our leaders, medal contenders, then the Ministry of Sports and the ROC must make an informed decision,” he emphasized.
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. At the same time, athletes who support a special operation in Ukraine and have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not get to Paris. Representatives of team sports will also miss the tournament.
