“Those of our athletes and tourists who intend to go to the Olympic Games in Paris must understand that they are not going to that blooming Garden of Eden, but to the tough Western jungle, where they will be left completely alone due to the actions of the French authorities,” quotes Meshkova TASS.
On March 19, it became known that the International Olympic Committee had decided not to allow Russian athletes to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, and Russians would also be excluded from the medal table. The organization approved the flag and anthem for neutral athletes.
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris will be held from July 26 to August 11.
Earlier, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, Dmitry Svishchev, said that Russia should respect the opinion of athletes who decide to go to the Olympics.
