The participation of Russian athletes in the Winter Youth Olympic Games is not possible, said ROC President Stanislav Pozdnyakov.
“International sports federations have illegally and unfairly suspended athletes from participating in competitions, including young athletes, potential participants in the Youth Olympic Games. In this regard, all deadlines for qualifying for participation in the Winter Youth Olympic Games have been missed a long time ago. ROC did not receive invitations to these events, and it was not even discussed either in direct or indirect contacts with colleagues from Lausanne. In this regard, our participation in the Winter Youth Olympic Games is not possible; the international winter federations for Olympic sports did not listen to the IOC recommendations on the return of athletes,” said Mr. Pozdnyakov.
The Winter Youth Olympic Games will be held in South Korea in Gangwon Province from January 19 to February 1, 2024. 81 sets of awards will be raffled off. TASS
