The famous fighter noted that Russian athletes were silent when their country brought a lot of grief to Ukraine. The Olympic Wrestling Champion and the People's Deputy Jean Beleniuk spoke about the admission of Russians and Belarussians to the 2024 Olympics. In his opinion, which he shared in an interview with KAMP-Sport, the meeting of athletes from Russia and Ukraine will end in anything good. "I think the IOC has to make a reasonable decision.

If the Russians come to Paris, it will not be a holiday of sports. These will be constant provocations and fights. It will definitely not end something good. This country has done a lot of trouble for all Ukrainians, and their athletes are cowardly They were silent about it, "Beleniuk said. On March 28, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) returned to Russians and Belarusians to international sports.

The condition of their participation in the Olympiad is to comply with a number of restrictions, including a neutral flag. However, teams are still forbidden to speak.
