Belarus wants in at Paris 2024 Games

Apparently, the position regarding countries at war and their participation at the Paris 2024 Olympics may be dependent on whether you are the aggressor or victim.

Belarusian Minister of Sport and Tourism Sergey Kovalchuk has claimed that the Olympic Movement is being “pulled apart” and spoke of the country’s desire to compete with “friendly countries” outside of Europe.

Kovalchuk slammed restrictions against athletes from his country in response to the war in Ukraine, claiming that the Olympic Charter is being “trampled underfoot” and that sport has “lost its appeal and…its independence” due to “unscrupulous politicians”.

Belarus, which is a military ally of Russia, has been hit with sanctions by many sporting organizations due to its involvement in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with its flag, symbols, and anthem largely banned from international competition. – Full report
