Russian athletes say IOC’s participation plan ‘excessive, discriminatory’ FMTNews FMTSports
The Olympic sports that have readmitted Russian and Belarusian athletes as neutrals include table tennis, fencing and taekwondo.
The recommendations include that Russian and Belarusian athletes can compete with no flag or anthem, while athletes who support the war or are contracted to military or national security agencies are excluded. “In our opinion, a dangerous precedent has been set when no athlete in the world can be sure that his or her human and civil rights will be duly respected from now on, that decisions are taken based on the Law and the Olympic Charter – without exemptions.
The IOC is to decide separately on the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Games at a later date, while Ukraine has threatened to boycott the Games if Russians are allowed to compete there.
