Belarusian tennis player Aryna Sabalenka announced she will skip the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Her words are quoted on the TalkingTennisTT social media account X.
According to the third racket of the world, this is due to the rules of the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), which prohibit missing a large number of tournaments. “We’ll have to sacrifice something. The situation is difficult, the calendar is too busy. “I decided to take care of my health,” Sabalenka said.
Sabalenka participated in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. At the tournament, the athlete was defeated in the second round.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has admitted Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Games 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 get to Paris. In addition, representatives of team sports will miss the tournament.
