Russia at OI-2022 will continue to perform under the flag of the ROC and with Tchaikovsky's music instead of the anthem

“The form for Beijing is already at the stage of final approval.

All other things will remain the same: we will perform under the flag of the ROC and with the ingenious creation of Tchaikovsky instead of the anthem, "RIA Novosti quotes Pozdnyakov.

According to him, many colleagues thanked Russia for choosing Tchaikovsky's composition as a hymn.

According to the CAS decision on the dispute between WADA and RUSADA, the Russian national teams cannot compete at the World Championships and the Olympic Games under their own flag for two years, but at the same time they have the opportunity to put national colors on equipment and indicate the name of the country on it.

At the Tokyo Games, Russians performed under the ROC flag, and Tchaikovsky's music was used as an anthem.

Earlier, journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Pozner shared his opinion on the performance of the Russian national team at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
