Dynamo President Makhachkala Gadzhi Gadzhiev critically assessed the conditions under which the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed athletes from Russia to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. His words are quoted by the publication vprognoze.ru.
“Maybe some people will be happy with this news. Maybe those who were born 40 years after me. Maybe they have different perceptions, but for the people of our generation this is an unacceptable situation. So what is this? I will race with an unknown flag that is not clear for whom it is. Citizens who believe that the individual is above the state Gadzhiev said, “I believe that you cannot choose your parents and homeland.”
On December 8, the International Olympic Committee allowed athletes from Russia to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games with neutral status.
The IOC said Russian athletes will be required to sign updated conditions of participation, which include a commitment to respect the Olympic Charter, including the “peaceful mission of the Olympic movement”. Russian athletes who rank well in their own disciplines will be allowed to compete.
In 2022, against the background of the start of SVO in Ukraine, the president of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach recommended that international federations exclude Russian athletes from international competitions. On January 25, 2023, the IOC announced that it was considering the possibility of allowing Russian athletes who do not support the holding of the SBO to participate in international competitions in a neutral status.
