Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov commented on the decisions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) imposing restrictions on the participation of Russian athletes in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in neutral status.
“We perceive this negatively, this is the destruction of the Olympic idea. This is a violation of the interests of athletes and Olympians. This contradicts the entire ideology of the Olympic movement and does not look good to the IOC,” Peskov assessed.
He also evaluated the participation of Russian athletes in the Olympics as neutral.
“As for participation, we paid attention to the statement of one of the IOC representatives that there will be no additional obligation, there will be no document to be signed, this is positive information. Then we will watch,” Peskov added.
The other day, the International Olympic Committee published a list of requirements for neutral athletes to be admitted to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Russian athletes will not be required to sign a statement condemning the conflict in Ukraine. The IOC will also consider possible sanctions against participants in the Friendship Games.
