Description
Russia's Kliment Kolesnikov is all about winning Olympic medals -- but not at all costs. The star swimmer vowed to sit out the Paris Games over its "unacceptable" conditions due to his country's offensive in Ukraine. Earlier, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said that athletes from Russia and its ally Belarus would be able to compete in Paris as neutrals, outside of team events and as long as they did not actively support the assault on Ukraine.
