The famous athlete made an odious statement

Nikita Nagorny, Russian Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics at Tokyo 2020, is confident that the vast majority of athletes around the world would be in favor of the Russian Federation participating in the Olympics with its flag and anthem. The 2024 Games will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11.

15 Russians will perform there in a neutral status. There are no representatives of artistic gymnastics among the admitted athletes.

"Gather athletes from all over the world and ask them a question about our team! I'm sure 99% will be in favor of us competing under our flag at the Olympics! I have never wished anything bad to people and have never made conflicts public! But today, the realities have shown that even your loved ones or family can be abandoned," Nagorny wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to Nagorny, the attitude towards Russian athletes will change in the near future.

"Time will pass! The people who undermined the credibility of our sport will fall away and blame themselves for the rest of their lives, while those who truly want to develop will work for the good!" the Russian declared with pathos.

Following this statement, Nagorny was mocked by Russian fans who questioned his mental capacity.

"146% for us, everything will change soon, sports should not be political, and other Putin's hope dealers", "Nagorny, you are definitely a gymnast! It will change soon... You have years and years to jump in your Russian sh**hole... You will be lucky if not decades," the comments read.

Most users believe that in fact, most of the world's athletes do not care about Russia.

Last August, Nagorny ended his professional sports career. The 27-year-old native of Rostov is the head of the mass children's and youth military-patriotic organization Yunarmiya (the All-Russia Young Army National Military Patriotic Social Movement Association), which is a structure of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
