Leonid Slutsky, leader of the LDPR party, telegraph channel offered to organize their own Olympic Games.
“The Liberal Democratic Party proposes to set up its own Olympic Games, where sporting achievements will be at the forefront, instead of making money from scandals and exaggeration. “A healthy segment of the international community will support our desire to establish and lead a new sporting movement,” said Slutsky.
Today, 13 July, it is reported that the IOC will send invitations for the Games on 26 July. Russia and Belarus will not be invited due to the special operation in Ukraine.
At the end of February 2022, the IOC issued a call to international sports federations, advising them not to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in any competitions.
At a meeting of the IOC executive committee on March 28, it was recommended to allow the Russians to have a neutral status, if the athletes were not actively engaged in supporting hostilities.
