Ex-President of the ROC calls the US boycott another attempt to use the OCD for political purposes

“As I said, this has nothing to do with sports.

This will not affect the holding of the Olympics, at least negatively - for sure.

This means that Biden and his staff will not come, just that.

Americans are always trying to use the Olympics for some political purpose, which actually contradicts the very spirit of the Olympics.

I am sure that the Games will become a real sporting event even without American diplomats, ”Zhukov quoted Match TV as saying.

We will remind that the press secretary of the White House Jennifer Psaki announced that the US officials will not go to the Games.

The Winter Olympics in Beijing will be held from 4 to 20 February 2022.

Earlier, the IOC reacted to the diplomatic boycott of OI-2022 by the United States.
