Our athletes should be at the Olympics. Our banner will be at the opening ceremony, during the competitions, our athletes will represent our country, so everyone in the world will see that Ukraine was, is and will be.
We don’t pay attention to it [з росії та білорусі] athletes, because it is not clear to us what kind of athletes they are, since they are under a neutral flag. If the Russian and Belarusian federations compete under their own flag, we will not compete at this Olympics, Gutzeit said.
The decision on the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus at the 2024 Olympics has not yet been made. Before that, the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine canceled the order, according to which Ukrainian athletes are prohibited from participating in tournaments where representatives of Russia and Belarusians are present.
