Russian sports journalist Dmitry Guberniev said in a statement: Telegram channelThe Paris Olympics are going well.
“The Paris Olympics leave no one indifferent. Everyone watches, discusses, which means the games were a success. The sport is great, the event is magnificent,” Guberniev wrote.
The Olympic Games began on July 26, with competitions running through August 11. The opening ceremony took place on the Seine River. Russian athletes, who compete in the Summer Olympics as neutrals, did not attend the ceremony.
Following the start of Russia’s SVO in Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes and recommended that Federations not allow athletes from these countries to participate in international competitions. In December 2023, the IOC allowed athletes from Russia to participate in the 2024 Olympics, but only with neutral status and subject to a number of necessary conditions.
