Vladimir Klitschko reacted harshly to the admission of Russians to the 2024 Olympic Games

Former world heavyweight champion Vladimir Klichko commented on the scandalous decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to admit Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris under a neutral flag.

“The IOC decided that Russian and Belarusian athletes will take part in the Olympic Games in Paris under a “neutral” flag. This false neutrality serves to cover up war crimes. The Russian flag is not white, it is bloody. This decision spoils the Olympic spirit,” Klitschko wrote in X.
