Harlan Wedding Fie: Fencing can be excluded from the Oi program

Known Ukrainian Sportsman, as well as a two -time triumph of the Olympic Games, Olga Harlan She shared her thoughts on the Imstagram social network after admission from Fie Russians and Belarus to the 2025 World Cup.

The International Fencing Federation has ignored the International Olympic Committee and decided to allow neutrals to compete in Tbilisi tournament.

The athlete from Ukraine has argued why such should not happen in the modern world.

In addition, Olga warned Fie of the possible loss of Olympic status in case of future violations of the IOC recommendations.

“Will fencing from the Olympics will be removed? When Russia violates the rules, it is no longer surprising. But when Fie covers these violations, it is a slap. Lipas IOC and his recommendations. Lipas of the Olympic Charter. And the slap to every fencinger.

Today, Russia has such power over Fie that the Federation has openly violated the recommendations of the IOC, allowing the outright propagandists of war, servicemen – and even taking them into the team rating.

And these are not just technical documents – these recommendations are written with blood. At least, more than 650 Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia in this war. At the same time, the killers – dressed in sports equipment – stand on one start line with you.

Let me remind you that systematic violations of IOC recommendations can lead to a federation loss of its Olympic status. My colleague Andre Fish has long warned it.

It has already happened with boxing – and although it is painful, boxers at least have other big arenas: WBA, WBC, IBF. In fencing, the Olympics is the only world vertex. The top of our dreams. And that is what fie puts on the Fie map now, allowing Russia to use sports as a war instrument.

It’s not about several individual athletes. It is a systematic campaign with the participation of soldiers and those who openly support Putin. Yes, military officer Sofia Great – Major of the Russian Army – is not just a fencing officer. It is an instrument of state propaganda, part of a huge car that has justified war and violence for years.

CSKA athletes are part of the army, as well as a saber – a continuation of the hand that possesses it. And if someone still thinks that it has nothing to do with fencing, let me remind me: Fie was the first federation to betray Olympic principles. And it can be the last drop, ”Harlan wrote.
