MOSCOW, December 14, Andrey Mikhailov. Lack of reaction from the International Olympic committee (IOC) to the statements of various foreign structures is strange, said former Russian Sports Minister Pavel Kolobkov.
Earlier, the heads of the Baltic countries called on the IOC to cancel the decision to admit Russians to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in a neutral status.
“»In general, it is very strange that the IOC does not react in any way to statements that come from different structures of different countries. This is a violation of the Olympic principles, and for some reason the IOC does not react in any way. For us, this is an indicative moment — a lot becomes clear. «I thought that the IOC was a much stronger and more principled structure, but it showed itself in a completely different way. This is how they behave, our partners from the Olympic movement in other countries,» Kolobkov said.
«There is a time to scatter stones, and there is a time to collect them. We need to adhere to our position, it is correct. I am sure that our sports officials are doing their maximum to protect our athletes,» he added.
The Games in Paris will be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
