Deputy Rodnina said that she will not follow the 2024 Olympics without Russians
Three-time Olympic champion in figure skating, State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina spoke about organizing the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris without Russian athletes. Her words are quoted by Bookmakers Rating.
Rodnina used the phrase “to the point” to describe her attitude towards the Olympics without Russia. She stated that she would not follow the progress of events at the Games.
Earlier, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, said that Russian and Belarusian athletes would not be welcome at the Summer Games. The head of the Russian Olympic Committee, Stanislav Pozdnyakov, criticized the International Olympic Committee for its lack of response to these statements.
Russians and Belarusians were allowed to participate in the Games in Paris 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.
