Two-time Olympic champion biathlete Dmitry Vasiliev said that there will be no Russian athletes at the Olympic Games in Paris, only compatriots competing for themselves. This is reported by DEA News.
According to the champion, he does not see Russian athletes at the Olympic Games. There are compatriots who do not even speak with a mythical neutral status, not only on behalf of the country, but also simply on their own behalf.
Vasiliev stressed that tennis players can only be understood because they are preparing for professional sports with their own money. Representatives of other sports, who are trained at state expense, now ignore the opinion of the state.
He noted that the performances of Russian athletes in Paris only created additional difficulties for the country.
July 18 IOC published The full list of Russian athletes accepted to the 2024 Olympic Games. A total of 15 people are going to the Games with neutral status.
Former Russian champion changed citizenship Before the Olympics.
