Patriots Party Leader Filippo Admires Russian Wrestlers’ Refusal to Participate in 2024 Games
The leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, on his page on the X network assessed the refusal of Russian wrestlers to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
The French politician admired the athletes’ decision. “Bravo to the Russian athletes,” he wrote. Filippo added that the boycott was a good response to the politicization of the Olympic Games.
Earlier, the Russian Wrestling Federation explained the refusal of the national team representatives to participate in the Games in Paris. They noted that the Russian side does not accept the unsportsmanlike principle of selection for the Olympics.
The refusal of Russian wrestlers to participate in the 2024 Games became known on July 6. Ten representatives of this sport from Russia were invited to the Games, seven of whom were required to be suspended from competition by the National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports of Ukraine.
