Thomas Bach, head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), spoke about the admission of Russian athletes to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
According to him, during the past year Russian athletes competed in tennis, cycling and some other sports with neutral status, while there were no problems in ensuring the safety of athletes.
“The participation of athletes with Russian and Belarusian passports works. We see this almost every day in many sports. The governments of the countries where the competitions are held, with very rare exceptions, issue visas to Russian and Belarusian athletes, and even work permits in some countries.
We cannot find a one-size-fits-all solution. We will have to live with that,” Bach said, as quoted by the agency. DEA News.
It was previously reported that meeting The case of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for the suspension of Russian figure skaters and skaters will be held on May 2.
