German biathlete Eric Lesser spoke about the problems with the organization of the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. It is reported by Deutschlandfunk.
He noted that the Olympic mood was not felt at the competitions due to the lack of spectators. In addition, he did not like the protective suits worn by volunteers and employees at sports facilities. According to Lesser, because of this, humanity was lost at the Games.
He also criticized International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach for not making a claim against the Chinese government. “It was clear that the Games in Beijing were not apolitical. I absolutely cannot understand why everyone continues to chase lies, ”Lesser said.
Lesser at the Games in Beijing twice went to the start. In the individual race, he took 67th place, and in the men’s relay as part of the German team, he became fourth. The Olympiad was held from 4 to 20 February.
