Olympics: Games row deepens as 35 countries demand Russia, Belarus ban
Quick Glance: Olympics: A 35-country boycott of Russia and Belarus intensifies
  • VILINUS - The Lithuanian sports minister said on Friday that a group of 35 countries, including the United States, Germany, and Australia, will demand that Russian and Belarussian athletes be barred from competing in the 2024 Olympics, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the Paris Games.

  • The meeting was very productive, according to British Sports Minister Lucy Frazer on Twitter.

  • Ukraine has threatened to boycott the games if Russian and Belarussian athletes compete, and Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk has said that if Russians are allowed to compete, they will win "medals of blood, deaths and tears"

  • He suggested that forming a refugee team comprised of Russian and Belarussian dissidents could be a workable solution.
