"Ukrainian boycott in Paris? My colleague from the Ukrainian Olympic Committee has convened a meeting with a specific item on the agenda, let's wait and see, after the decision I will reply. I don't know that there is an official definitive position. Following some Olympic committees and governments have already expressed their opinion on what will be, but it's all the result of that position".

This was stated by Giovanni Malagò, president of Coni, on the sidelines of an event at the Olympic Committee.

"Thomas Bach sent a letter to all of us, very clear, and we also held a videoconference. But if you were the president of the IOC, what would you do today? - continues Malagò - It is clear that the mission of the IOC is to seek to keep all 206 countries together We are all the stronger, if not invincible, if we are all.
