“In Paris, athletes will be accompanied by coaches, medical and administrative staff. Each sport team will determine the best time for arriving in Paris in order to reach optimal athletic shape ahead of the competitions. Our athletes, as before, will live in the Olympic Village. Almost nothing has changed in terms of logistics and organizational aspects,” NOC Secretary General Ksenia Sankovich said. “Unfortunately, not all the athletes, who had qualified for the Games in fair competition, received an invitation to the Games from the IOC. In the current circumstances, fan support matters most for our athletes. We are confident that despite all the challenges our athletes will show their best at the Games in the French capital.

The 2024 Summer Olympic Games will take place in Paris on 26 July-11 August.
