The general producer of the Match TV channel, Alexander Tashchin, explained that the channel’s refusal to show the Olympic Games taking place in Paris in the summer of 2024 is due to lack of interest from viewers. RBC.
Tashchin noted that without the leaders of the Russian team the tournament would not be interesting to a wide audience.
“Looking back, we are convinced that it was the right decision,” Tashchin said.
At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a call to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes should not be allowed to participate in any competitions.
At the IOC Executive Committee meeting on March 28, 2023, it was proposed that Russians be allowed to maintain neutral status if their athletes are not actively involved in supporting military operations. Some federations have suggested that Russians sign a declaration of neutrality in order to participate in tournaments.
