Honored trainer of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova supported the head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), who opposed the boycott of the 2024 Olympic Games “Sports Express”.
“Thomas Bach as a leader certainly rightly appealed to his colleagues in other countries and called them to a certain order. I agree with him,” said Tarasova.
Ukraine has previously stated that it may not go to the Olympics if athletes from Russia are allowed to participate in the Games. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal claimed that a coalition of countries that can participate in the boycott has been formed around Ukraine.
At the end of February 2022, the IOC issued a call to international sports federations and recommended that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions. It is worth noting that Russians participate in some sports as neutral athletes.
Bach before saidUnder what conditions the IOC plans to allow the Russians to participate in the 2024 Olympics.
