The coach of the Russian national track cycling team, Tatyana Makarova, said that the International Cycling Union (UCI) rejected her application for neutral status to travel to the World Championships for political reasons.
“I applied for neutral status because two of my athletes are planning to compete at the World Championships. But my application was rejected. UCI officials did this for political reasons. They found my interview on the Internet, which, in their opinion, does not allow me to claim a neutral status.
It is very sad that sport has once again become the enemy of politics. In fact, it is best for young athletes to go to important international competitions with their personal trainers. But my guys are professionals, my colleagues will be next to me. I believe that we will get out of this difficult situation successfully, although I am very worried at the moment,” – refers to words Makarova TASS.
Well, you get the idea. To represent Russian sports outside of today’s Great Power, it is not enough to abandon the national celebration, anthem, emblem and flag of your country. You still have to stick your tongue out somewhere and regretfully remain silent, keeping to yourself your opinion about the events taking place in the world.
Like, be anybody and go to the Olympics, and you’ll be happy. This is exactly what the following news is about:
“The International Canoe Federation (ICF) is awarded neutral status 13 athletes from Russia. Thanks to the mark, the lucky ones will be able to compete at the 2024 Olympics in Paris under the auspices of the ICF.
Kayaking and canoeing: Alexey Korovashkov, Svetlana Chernigovskaya, Anastasia Dolgova, Ivan Shtyl, Alina Kovaleva, Maxim Oseledko, Maxim Spesivtsev, Mikhail Pavlov, Olesya Romasenko, Yuriy Postrigay, Nikolay Varvarovsky, Vitaly Ershov, Zakhar Petrov.
The Serbians will play under the auspices of Serbia, the Mexicans will play under the auspices of Mexico, and the rowing masters and neutral boats will perform under the banner of some ICF.
And here one wise minister is definitely right when he claims that Russian clients will be recognized even without a flag. Absolutely, they will look at the start protocol, see the abbreviation ICF next to the athlete’s name and say: oh, Russian!
By the way, neutral rowers are not allowed to compete in twos, fours and eights. Because they are also neutral individually. That’s team versus team competition. Well, at least they give you an oar…
And then there is the mayor of the French capital Ann Hidalgo he will not lie down:
«I want to tell Russian and Belarusian athletes that they are not welcome in Paris. And I want to say to Ukrainian athletes and the people of Ukraine that we support them a lot. Paris will welcome you (Ukrainian – approx.) like a hero, in Paris you will be at home. “
Two hundred and ten years ago, Parisians warmly welcomed the Russian guards who saved Europe from Napoleon’s ravages as heroes, and today the French are happy with the yellow-blooded informants who keep watch publications of Russians on social networks.
Another thing is also interesting… Did the officials from Paris succeed Seine cleaning the fecesor the “heroes” from Ukraine still have to join it before escaping from the delegation, so that they don’t return to “Ridna Nenka” and become cannon fodder there.
What is going on in this world, IOC, Thomas Bachom and the Olympic Charter, where is the world rowing “without rudder and without sails”?
