Ruslan Zakharov said that he will support the Russians who will perform at the Olympic Games
Olympic short track champion Ruslan Zakharov revealed his attitude towards the Russians who decide to compete at the 2024 Games in Paris. Match TV reports this.
He noted that he would support his compatriots. “I will root for all Russian athletes, regardless of what flag they compete under. Tennis, cycling, what other sports can be taken away from us,” Zakharov noted.
The athlete advised him to find an idol before the start of the tournament to transfer energy to him. “I have already chosen someone for whom I will root and worry especially. I won’t say who it will be,” Zakharov said.
In December 2023, the IOC allowed Russians and Belarusians to participate in the Olympics in Paris as individual neutral athletes. At the same time, athletes who support the SVO, as well as those who have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus, will not be allowed to participate in the competition. In addition, representatives of team sports will miss the tournament.
