Olympic bosses from Russia have made plans to live and compete in France ahead of Paris 2024 - despite the country’s ban from the Games.
With two years remaining until the Olympics begin, Russia is reportedly making plans for its athletes in the French capital even though they are barred from qualification events which are set to begin. Russia are currently banned from international competition due to the military invasion of Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Russian Olympic Committee president Stanislav Pozdnyakov took to the Telegram messaging app to confirm the country was hoping to enter its athletes into various qualification events. The 48-year-old also declared Russia are making plans to house their athletes in the Olympic village in 2024.
