Russian climbers refused to participate in qualifications for the 2024 Olympics
Russian climbers refused to participate in the qualifications for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. This was reported by TASS with reference to the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC).
The IFSC said that the only way for Russians to qualify for the Olympics was to go to a series of tournaments in Shanghai and Budapest, organized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). However, domestic athletes decided not to take part in them.
Earlier it became known that Russian rowers refused to participate in the Olympics in a neutral status. Before this, gymnasts and archers abandoned the Games.
In December 2023, the IOC allowed Russians and Belarusians to participate in the Games 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, 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.
