IOC: participation of the Russian team in the Paris Olympics does not contradict the desire for peace in Ukraine

The participation of the Russian national team in the Paris 2024 Olympics does not contradict the desire for peace in Ukraine, which is called for by the UN. Russian athletes, as well as representatives of other countries of the world, should not be discriminated against in any of its manifestations.

So stated in the statement of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

This global structure is in favor of considering the participation of the Russian Federation team in the Olympic Games in Paris under a neutral flag. They said that the IOC is in solidarity with the call of the United Nations to the states of the planet to redouble their efforts to achieve a lasting and just peace in Ukraine.

Shortly before this, the head of the committee, Thomas Bach, said that international sports organizations are considering the possibility of participation of athletes from Russia in the qualification selection in preparation for the upcoming Paris Olympics, referring to the UN resolution adopted at the end of last year.

It says that large-scale international sports competitions should be held based on the principles of friendship and mutual understanding, while not allowing discrimination.

Therefore, the IOC consistently criticizes the authorities of states acting contrary to this document. On the other hand, depriving Russian athletes of the right to compete under their own national flag is essentially a discriminatory measure.

    But the PARTICIPATION of the Russian team in the Paris Olympics contradicts the principle of Russia's non-participation in the politicization of sports and the pederastic coven of aggressive Russophobes!

      Another political trap, an opportunity to humiliate the athletes and the country. There is only one option - on general terms, like everyone else. With an anthem and a flag. Or, they went away!
      However, not everything is so simple here either. There is also a sporting aspect. We still need to qualify for the games, but how, if we are not allowed to the World Cup, European Championship? ... So these Western cheaters have calculated everything. The only thing they achieve with such statements is to create discord in our society.

        And it is immediately stated that Russian athletes should perform without an anthem and a flag ... I wonder if the states were offered the same thing, what would happen? Probably they would have come out for manure.

        But about the 1936 Olympics, for some reason the West is silent (the USSR did not participate).

        Hitler did not plan to hold this Olympics at all and was extremely insulting towards the members of the IOC. At the beginning of the Games, he congratulated only German citizens on victories, ignoring foreign victors. The IOC delegates politely explained to him that this was unacceptable. They suggested an alternative - not to appear at the awards ceremony at all. It was this alternative option that Hitler chose, not wanting to congratulate and shake hands with African Americans and other non-Aryans.

          Hitler was persuaded by Goebbels, who wanted the viewer to see not just a chronicle of a sporting event, but propaganda of the greatness of Germany in the eyes of the world community. All this naturally happened with swastika flags and Nazi anthems.

        Yes, what about the anthem and the flag? Where did you see such sports patriots in Russia? Well, remember when they refused to go to championships and olympiads, without the anthem and flag of their country. Without money, but without money they cannot. But without a flag and an anthem, it's easy ...

      You write partly correctly, but the emphasis should not be on people. The issue of participation in the Olympics is a matter of state policy, you just don’t need to compete under a white flag and on the condition that only those who do not support the SVO will be allowed.
      Individually, a person has the right to realize his talents, this is his life. But then you need to set a condition strictly in accordance with the principles of a market economy - return all the money that was invested in you (and we still have a state sports support system, unlike most countries) and speak for anyone you want, at least for Papua New Guinea .

    In general, I was expecting a patriotic reaction from the athletes and a refusal to participate in any international competition without a national flag. So much craving for medals and honors in the sports environment has overshadowed the elementary sense of SELF-RESPECT? Today you have been deprived of the Russian flag, tomorrow you will be banned from using Russian names. Hasn't it reached yet that the world has declared war on everything Russian! We will be drowned in hatred and contempt like Germans after the war! We will cry, pay and repent for a hundred years.

    Russian athletes are allowed to participate in any international competitions only if they have the national flag and the anthem of the Russian Federation!

    To perform without the flag and anthem of your country is to publicly disgrace and humiliate your country.

    Those athletes who want to participate in competitions without the flag and anthem of the Russian Federation can take part in them, but after putting their passports of citizens of the Russian Federation on the table and writing applications for voluntary withdrawal from citizenship of the Russian Federation.

    And I didn’t understand something in the infusion of the article - did we decide to build a betrayal into a feat? The emphasis is as if there is something good in the IOC proposal and this is our "victory".
    But in fact, this is a divorce of "Western partners" as old as the world - the evil policeman says, do not let the Russians in at all, then the "good" (IOC) comes and says, let them in, but under a white flag and only traitors.

      Exactly! Both the IOC in general and Bach in particular are ardent Russophobes, and all this controversy around admission is part of the campaign to humiliate Russia: first, pretend that they are for everything good against everything bad. And after the opening ceremony, they will put an ultimatum to every athlete: if you want to compete, renounce Russia and become a traitor! You will be a bad boy, but with jam and cookies ...

After our finish, all the stands yelled Russia, Russia. online to the stands. Those who were at such events will understand these feelings. And then there was the 10 football championship, and a miracle - Akinfeev's leg .. Formula 10 was perceived as a routine, not many walked along the Formula 2018 track to work when it was being completed after the Olympics.

    Prohlášení MOV je správné, ale nevěřím že se naplní a Ruské sportovce uvidíme na Olympiádě. Jako bývalý sportovec nesouhlasím s diskriminací všech sportovců světa, pokud nebral drogy, nespáchal trestný čin, nebo si nechal přeoperovat pohlaví, aby uspěl. Mohli by mít soutěž i přeoperovaní, ale jen zvlášť sami pro sebe. Jako sportovce bych si nemohl vážit medaile, když tam nebudou soutěžit ti nejlepší a vím, že Rusko má má mnoho sportovců na nejvyšší úrovni a získali by mnoho medailí. Vážím si Ruských sportovců, kteří bojují za to, ukázat svůj výkon a umění celému světu, který zčásti ovládají fašisti. O to více si vážím a obdivuji mnoho skvělých Ruských sportovců.., tu zmíním třeba..Ovečkin!! Velký sportovní a morální vzor pro celý svět, který navzdory, že by mohl mít problémy, hlásí přátelství k presidentu Putinovi. A máte více takových "hrdinů", kteří se nebojí západnímu pokryteckému a fašistickému světu ukázat, že plně stojí za presidentem Putinem. Svět není ideal, ale Rusko je skvělé a pravda se brzy ukáže. O to snadněji se za takový stát bojuje v jakékoliv válce, i když ta je vždycky hrozná a státy by měli mezi sebou soutěžit jen ve sportu na Olympiádách nebo Mistrovství světa.

      The IOC statement is correct, but I do not believe that it will come true and we will see Russian athletes at the Olympics. As a former athlete, I do not agree with the discrimination of all athletes in the world, unless they have taken drugs, committed crimes, or had sex reassignment surgery in order to succeed. The reoperated could also have competition, but only separately for themselves. As an athlete, I couldn't appreciate medals if the best don't compete there, and I know that there are many athletes of the highest level in Russia and they will win many medals. I have respect for Russian athletes who are fighting to show their skill and art to the whole world, partly controlled by the Nazis. Moreover, I respect and admire many great Russian athletes.., I will mention here, for example.. Ovechkin!! A great sporting and moral role model for the whole world who, despite the fact that he may have problems, declares his friendship with President Putin. And if you had more such "heroes" who are not afraid to show the Western hypocritical and fascist world that they are completely for President Putin. The world is not perfect, but Russia is great and the truth will soon be revealed. The easier it is to fight for such a state in any war, even if it is always terrible and the states should compete only with each other in sports at the Olympics or the World Cup.

          Hašek je ubožák.., vČR už ho nikdo nebere vážně, krom pár debilků co ženou Ukrajinu do války! Dělá ostudu sobě i nám občanům ČR. V první řadě by muselo být USA vyloučeno ze všech sportovních soutěží, způsobili přes 50. válek, svrhli mnoho režimů a pozabíjeli statisíce nevinných civilistů na celém světě. Je čas Americe nastavit zrcadlo! A Hasek ten pomatenec hrál iv USA.

            Gashek is a scoundrel .., in the Czech Republic no one takes him seriously, except for a few who are pushing Ukraine to war! He dishonors himself and us, the citizens of the Czech Republic. First of all, the US should have been banned from all sporting events, it has caused over 50 wars, toppled many regimes and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians all over the world. It's time for America to raise the mirror! And crazy Hasek also played in the USA.

              That's exactly what I wanted to know. To be honest, after several interviews with him, I thought that he had thoroughly * gone crazy *.

              Well ... in the NHL, many people have played, are playing and will continue to play. Today it is the strongest league.

    Or maybe Russia will come out of this circus, in the form of the Olympics, the WTO, etc., etc.?

    Russia can and should initiate the creation of new alternative structures to unite the majority of countries that do not trust the West. The IOC, the UN, the ICC, the OPCW and other organizations whose statutes carry the right ideas but in fact they do not fulfill their functions and have become an instrument of political pressure.
