Russian freestyle wrestler Shamil Mamedov will compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. This was reported on the website of the International Wrestling Federation.
The athlete was included in the application list for the Games. He will compete in the 65 kg weight category, in which he won a bronze medal at the 2023 World Championships.
On July 6, the Russian Wrestling Federation announced the refusal of the national team to participate in the Olympics. They noted that the Russian side does not accept the unsportsmanlike principle of selection for the Olympics.
The 2024 Olympics will be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11. Russians and Belarusians were admitted to the competition as individual neutral athletes. The first list of participants was published on June 15, and is regularly updated.
