Famous athletes sign open appeal to public

Three-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Alexander Medved is also convinced that sport should stay out of politics. Today he visited the NOC of Belarus to sign an appeal to the international community. There are calls from abroad to impose sanctions against Belarus at the next Olympics and deprive our delegation of the national flag at the Games in Tokyo. We categorically disagree with this, not only veterans, but also all active athletes.

Any employee of the sports industry in any of the Republican Olympic Training Centers, as well as in the headquarters of the National Olympic Committee can sign the appeal.
