Russians and Belarusians may participate in the upcoming Olympics under a neutral flag.
The IOC announced this in January.
Someone who has trouble understanding why is Ukrainian biathlete Anastasiya Merkushyna.
- Russia has violated the Olympic rules.
They began their invasion during the Paralympics and violated the Olympic truce, she says.
When SVT Sport raises the issue with Christophe Dubi, Olympic director at the IOC, he is clear that no decision has been made.
- We have not changed our view on the whole thing and no decision has been made.
It is important to emphasize.
But what is going on is an investigation, he says.
An opinion survey carried out by Novus on behalf of SVT Sport shows that a majority is in favor of a Swedish boycott if Russia is allowed to participate in sports championships.
