(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 27 – “Are Russian athletes at risk of participating in Paris 2024? I can’t say anything but at the moment this is the direction. The risk is that the situation will have a great influence” said the president of Coni Giovanni Malagò in the post-Giunta press conference talking about the possible exclusion of Russian athletes from the next Olympic Games.
On the case of the Internationals, however, he returns to reiterate what has been said in recent days. “At the moment the Russian athletes will be there – explained the number one of Coni – We respect the situations, but what we highlight is that the IOC has invited all international federations to exclude Russian and Belarusian athletes. It seems right that everyone adapts and not a union of players? Coni is the IOC, so let’s follow the IOC “. Then he concludes on how the affair can be resolved: “A sporting intervention is not enough. Either the ATP and the WTA change the opinion or the position can only be taken by the Government, I don’t know what will happen but I don’t feel like excluding anything”. (HANDLE).
