The media and the Network continue to discuss the suspension of the Russian national team from participation in the 2018 Olympics. And many are concerned about the possible performance of athletes under a neutral flag. Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko also expressed his opinion.
The day before, Vladimir Putin said that Russia would not boycott the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, despite the decision of the International Olympic Committee to remove the Russian team.
And Evgeni Plushenko urges athletes not to think about politics.
According to the skater, he feared that the Russians would not be allowed at all.
“Even under a neutral flag, our Olympians need to compete, in no case should they be boycotted. If I put myself in their place, then I would speak. We, athletes, still represent Russia, Russians are at heart, so it seems to me that it would be wrong not to go. People who say that are far from sports."
By the way, today the Ministry of Culture of South Korea made an appeal to Russian athletes: "We express the hope that we will be able to see many Russian athletes at the Games, who will once again show outstanding results repeatedly demonstrated at previous sports competitions."
