The president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, spoke ambiguously about the Russian team, which at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang acted under the neutral flag.

Bach does not believe that at the Olympic Games all attention was focused solely on the OCP * (Olympic athletes from Russia), because the main thing at these Olympics were sports achievements.

"With individual athletes you must always act on justice.

And if you completely break off contacts and prevent anyone from participating in the competition, it will be impossible to achieve any changes. I do not think that within two weeks there were headlines exclusively about Russia.

There were many headlines about outstanding sporting achievements, and this is what is the main thing for the Olympic Games. On the other hand, the Olympics in Pyeongchang were held without Russia, "CNN quoted Bach as saying..

Recall that at the 2018 Olympics Russians twice caught on doping - in bobsled and curling.
