Russia Says it Will not be Able to Participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games this Month


“We will not boycott the Paris Olympics.”

Russia's Interfax news agency reported on the 14th (local time) that the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) announced that athletes from Russia and Belarus will not participate in the 카지노사이트원 Summer Asian Games held in Hangzhou, China this month.

ROC Chairman Stanislav Pozdnyakov said that the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) had proposed that Russian and Belarusian athletes participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, but that no invitation had been received from the ROC until now, about a week before the opening, and that "there is no hope at all." said.

There was a possibility that up to 500 athletes from Russia and Belarus could participate as neutral players in the Hangzhou Asian Games, which opens on the 23rd.

This is because last July, OCA, which organizes the Asian Games, officially approved inviting athletes from Russia and Belarus.

This was a measure to help Russian and Belarusian athletes, who had been unable to participate in international competitions for over a year due to Russia's special military operation in Ukraine since February of last year, participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) also recommended in March that Russian and Belarusian athletes who do not support special military operations and are not connected to the military be allowed to participate as neutral athletes in international competitions.

However, Chairman Pozdnyakov explained that because the IOC does not recognize the OCA's decision.

Russian and Belarusian athletes are unable to participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Chairman Pozdnyakov announced that the ROC does not plan to boycott the Paris Olympics, which will be held from July 26 to August 11 next year.

He said Russia had a negative history of not participating in the Olympics for political reasons between 1980 and 1984, and said, "We live in a free, democratic and prosperous country, so all athletes should be able to make their own moral choices."

He also announced that he plans to provide financial compensation to athletes who have been deprived of the opportunity to compete in international competitions.
