Elena Vyalbe called the showing of the Olympics in Paris unacceptable in Russia
The head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR), Elena Vyalbe, spoke about how she feels about the showing of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in Russia. Her words are quoted by Sport Express.
The functionary noted that she considered broadcasting the competition unacceptable. “We need to show Russian competitions – we will have very, very many of them. I’m not even interested in including the Olympics at least in the background,” Vyalbe added.
Earlier, Vyalbe criticized the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach. She called the functionary scum and said that she did not respect him as an Olympic fencing champion.
The IOC allowed Russians and Belarusians to participate in 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, or who have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to participate in the Games. In addition, representatives of team sports will miss the tournament.
