"Sounkamba is power!": Zakharova's arrival, the wrath of Palestine and where the Provinces sent the IOC

Russian commentator and journalist Dmitry Guberniev gave an interview to the American edition of the New York Times, where he spoke to the fullest about the suspension of Russian athletes from participating in the Olympic Games-2024.

"So are we mixing sports and politics now? The Americans entered the Iraq and later recognized the fallacy of these actions. And the invasion of Vietnam, which was recognized as a mistake? Not by me or you — by President Biden!

Anyone goes in for sports to win an Olympic medal. Against the background of the decisions (on the removal of Russians), a new round of confrontation will arise. Because we have people who want to expand their horizons, see Europe and show the world what they can do. They were not allowed to do this, so in the end the answer of these Russians will be: "Go to hell,"" the commentator stunned the newspaper.

After the interview was published, The Voice of Russian Biathlon told the Sport24 portal about the background of the creation of the material.:

"A correspondent called me, and I use as many platforms as possible to explain my position. In this interview, I say exactly the same thing as inside the country. It is very important to convey this not only in In Russia, but also abroad. The newspaper is authoritative, and Valerie is a correspondent with a name and has been working for a long time in Russia. It was very symbolic that it was my direct speech that ended the article.

"Go to hell" or "go to the ass" can be translated in different ways, but I'm conveying the position. Instead of building bridges, they are doing everything to make the confrontation intensify.

For example, the non-admission of our young football players causes nothing but disgust. Guys, if you have any questions for politicians and the country, then ask! What do the children have to do with it?

There are people who keep the remnants of respect for Western institutions and the IOC, and after such decisions there is a normal desire in Russian to send them to **** [horseradish]. It seems to me that from this point of view the West could be smarter. Otherwise, they do bad things to people, but they buy oil, gas and steel. Well, well done!"

Meanwhile, after unprecedented criticism from the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, the Organizing Committee of the Games, the IOC, NATO, the EU backed down. And French track and field athlete Sonkamba Sylla will still take part in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics today.

Recall, the athlete, who will run in the 4 × 400 meters relay for the Fifth Republic team, complained that she would not be able to attend the opening of the Games, as she was not allowed to wear a hijab.

"She was offered to wear a cap during a parade along the Seine, and she agreed," the French Olympic Committee told InsideTheGames.

How, in terms of civil liberties, the imperialist West lags behind the countries that are more advanced in human terms. For example, we have in In Russia, in chain stores, some cashiers serve customers in a niqab and no one is outraged about this. And then they attacked the cute Frenchwoman Sonkamba, forcing her to put on a cap as a result. Yet the capitalists are far from the people!

And it is not for nothing that the president of the Palestinian National Olympic Committee (NOC), Jibril Rajoub, accused the International Olympic Committee of double standards when deciding on the admission of Israeli athletes to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The Palestinian Olympic Committee has sent an official letter to IOC President Thomas Bach demanding that Israel be removed from participation in the The Olympics for violating the Olympic Truce, but the answer was negative.

"This confirms that there are international institutions that insist on applying double standards and do not follow the Olympic Charter, laws, rules or morals," Rajoub is quoted as saying by InsideTheGames.

"The Israelis or the Israeli Olympic Committee have lost their moral, sporting, humanitarian and legal right to participate," the sports functionary summed up, calling the bombing of Gaza "crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing."
