Olympic Ban: Russian Athletes Going through Restrictions at 2024 Video games in Paris

Honored determine skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova talked about one other ban for the Russians by the Worldwide Olympic Committee.

On Friday, Might 17, it was introduced that the IOC had ordered journalists registered in Russia “to not use any nationwide symbols” on the Olympic Video games in Paris.

“I want I might bear in mind each swear phrase. No must waste power, we get nothing. Now everyone seems to be already excited, let all of it go already, we’ll bear this and proceed to reside peacefully and fortunately», – TASS quotes the phrases of the clever Tarasova.

However what does the Olympic champion, Deputy Head of the State Duma of the Russian Federation take into consideration this? Svetlana Zhurova:

“In any case, Russian symbols can be banned within the stands and all over the place, and cheering may even be banned. They need to take away and erase any ties with Russia on the Olympics, they need us to refuse to go there ourselves.

They can not forestall athletes from performing, as a result of this can be a violation of the constitution, however they work another way and create insufferable circumstances. If a journalist takes out a flag or one thing just like the nation’s flag, they will take away his visa, ship him away or no matter.

They went to nice lengths to make sure that no Russians have been current. So that individuals get used to the truth that there aren’t any Russians in any respect. “

On the identical time, the President of the Federation of All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics (VFHG) Irina Viner in her Telegram channel she defined the choice of Russian gymnasts to not go to the Olympic Video games in Paris.

Former world champion in rhythmic gymnastics Yana Batyrshina disagreement with the opinion of Wiener, who was “in opposition to the participation of Russian athletes on the Olympics.”

“You can not evaluate the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Video games with the upcoming ones in Paris. On the final Olympics, our athletes competed underneath the banner of the Russian Olympic Committee, and on the awards they sang Tchaikovsky – it sounds just like the Russian anthem – the athletes cried! We protected the pursuits of our nation!

The state of affairs was fully completely different: there have been doping scandals, not SVO. Now all this has develop into a totally political story. A proposal was made for us to sing underneath an incomprehensible flag and an nameless hymn. That is fully inappropriate and inappropriate for a rustic nearly as good as Russia.

However everybody has a alternative! Nobody blames those that selected to play! However it’s value remembering the phrases of the mayor of Paris, who mentioned that Russia ought to compete within the refugee workforce! This can be a reality, it has been revealed.

So, in fact, God forbid that our athletes, after they go, carry out and take their place because the strongest! However the rhythmic gymnastics workforce had no likelihood, no option to go to the Olympic Video games. Let me remind you that the choice was held on the European Championships, this was the ultimate choice.

One place – for Belarus or for Russia. However since Europe voted to not permit our groups to take part within the European Championship, because of this there was no likelihood to get to the Olympic Video games in any respect. That’s the reason we didn’t submit any utility.

Our kids didn’t a priori need to play at these worldwide competitions amongst all nations, elevating the white flag and even enjoying this anthem that was provided to us. Our kids are inspired, used to standing on a pedestal, taking their place on this planet. However they did not need to compete similar to that. It is not my determination, it is the groups’ determination.” – emphasised Irina Viner.

Let’s keep in mind that in December 2023, the IOC allowed athletes from Russia to take part within the 2024 Video games within the standing of particular person impartial athletes with particular flag and music as a substitute of the anthem topic to a number of circumstances, together with lack of assist from the SVO and non-participation in navy or legislation enforcement companies (CSKA and Dynamo associations).

On the Olympics it would even be unimaginable to make use of the Z image, any navy symbols and the St George’s ribbon colours (black and orange).
