There is simply no logic in Bach’s statements.” – Yurlova-Perkht
World and European champion, winner of the World Cup stages, Russian biathlete Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht believes that there is no logic in the words of the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach.
After the removal of Russian athletes from international competitions, Bach repeatedly stated that sport should be out of politics, while maintaining the ban for Russians in force.
— Statements by Thomas Bach? There is simply no logic here, it is some kind of illogical logic. He gives various examples, and then says: “But Russians and Belarusians cannot speak!” They themselves, it seems to me, do not understand what is happening. I hope that they will be determined and everything will work out, – quotes the words of Yurlova‑Perkht “Championship”.
In February, the IOC Executive Board recommended that international federations prevent Russians and Belarusians from participating in competitions due to the events in Ukraine. Many federations followed these recommendations.
