Kabaeva: Russian participation in the Olympics should be determined by the Ministry of Sports and the ROC
Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics Alina Kabaeva spoke about the participation of Russians in the 2024 Games. Her words are quoted in the Telegram channel of the Nebesnaya Grace Academy.
Kabaeva denied information about lobbying for the refusal of domestic athletes to travel to Paris. “The participation or non-participation of Russian athletes in the Olympic Games should be determined by the Ministry of Sports and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC),” the statement emphasized.
The 2024 Olympics will be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11. Russians and Belarusians have been admitted to the competition as individual neutral athletes. Individual representatives of tennis, cycling, trampoline jumping, canoeing and swimming have confirmed their participation in the tournament.
Some Russian athletes refused to participate in the Games, despite receiving invitations from the International Olympic Committee. This decision was made by wrestlers and judokas.
