There is no question of cutting ties with the Olympic movement. This is, in essence, the message delivered this week by Russian Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin. 100 days before the opening of the Paris 2024 Games, the former president of FISU insists: “ In no case should we close ourselves today by breaking ties, even temporarily, with international sports federations, despite their sometimes discriminatory position, at least for some of them. We must, I believe, continue to participate and continue to win. » Oleg Matytsin has done his math: Russia has obtained Olympic quotas in seven sports on the Paris 2024 Games program. But the final decision to go to France will depend on the athletes. “ I have already met the coaches and athletes, it is up to them to make a decision,” he added.
