President of the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Ukraine Vadim Gutzeit said that due to Russia’s admission to the 2024 Olympic Games, the country will no longer receive money from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
“The foundation provided us with funds when the Russians were not allowed in. When they were accepted, I suggested to the executive committee that if they were accepted, we would not receive funding from the IOC,” Gutzeit 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.”
