Vyalbe supported the decision of Russian TV channels to refuse to broadcast the Olympic Games
The head of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe assessed the decision of Russian TV channels to refuse to broadcast the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
The functionary expressed support for this position. “It seems to me that this will be some kind of misery, not the Olympics. I will not follow the performances of Russian athletes,” Vyalbe said.
At the same time, the FLGR president emphasized that she does not condemn the Russians who will perform at the Games. “Participation is a personal matter for each person. Probably, the athletes had some motives,” added Vyalbe.
Earlier, the Sports.ru portal reported that Russian TV channels would not show the Olympic Games for the first time in 40 years. It was noted that the decision was due to the fact that domestic athletes would only be able to compete in the competitions as neutrals.
