February 4: Poland’s Sports and Tourism Minister Kamil Bortnikzuk has said that 40 countries can boycott the Paris Olympics and make all Olympic competitions meaningless. Later, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia jointly refused to allow Russia to compete in the Paris Olympics.
Then the Russian sports minister made this comment. On the other hand, Ukraine has also said that it will boycott the Paris Olympics if Russia participates. Bortnikjuk said that 40 countries, including England, the United States and Canada, will not support Russia’s participation before the Olympic meeting on February 10.
I don’t think we will be forced to make some tough decisions before the Olympics. We will boycott the Olympic Games. The countries that support us will also boycott the games that we will boycott,” he said. The Olympic Games allowed athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete at the Paris Olympics under a neutral flag.
