Zhurova: the neutral status of Russian athletes at the Olympic Games makes it clear that we are not there. State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova believes that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) treats Russians as second class.

On December 8, it became known that the IOC allowed Russians and Belarusians to participate in the Olympics in a neutral status. Athletes should not support the SVO or be associated with military departments. The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will be held from July 26 to August 11.
