Sergei Bubka, former head of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine, said that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is ready to work with Ukraine on providing information about Russian and Belarusian athletes supporting the CBO. Bubka’s words are conveyed by the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.
“Today the IOC discussed that they are ready to work with us and receive all the information we have regarding monitoring. I think it is very positive, they are open and they are ready to work with us,” Bubka said.
He also added that Ukraine should create the most effective system for monitoring representatives of Russia and Belarus.
On December 8, the International Olympic Committee allowed athletes from Russia to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games with neutral status.
It was initially reported that eight Russians and three Belarusians received licenses for the Games, but on December 13 the IOC press service corrected this data. Now the organization’s website says that six Russian and five Belarusian athletes have won quotas for the Olympics.
In the same message, the IOC emphasized that “no flags, anthems or any symbols of Russia or Belarus will be flown at the Olympic Games” and “no government officials from Russia or Belarus will be invited to the Games.”
