Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova evaluated the conditions set by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the admission of athletes from Russia to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. His words lead the way RIA News.
“Now only six people have accepted these conditions. Too little for this country. All team sports are excluded. It’s unclear who else will have time to qualify. These are all terrible. It is terrible that we are excluded, and if we are allowed in, it will be according to inhumane rules,” Tarasova said.
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.”
