Match TV: IOC Allows 15 Russians to Participate in Paris Olympics
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has included 15 athletes in the final list of Russian participants in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. This was reported to Match TV.
Seven tennis players have been admitted to the Games, including Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva, trampoline jumper Angela Bladtseva, swimmer Evgeny Somov, three cyclists and three canoeists.
Earlier, Olympic champion, First Deputy Chairperson of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Svetlana Zhurova explained the difference between a boycott and a refusal to participate in the 2024 Olympics. According to her, the refusal to travel demonstrates the independence of the athletes’ decision-making.
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. Some athletes refused to participate in the tournament, despite receiving quotas and invitations from the IOC.
