T. Minina Olympic Games
The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) released its official roster of 335 competitors on July 6. These athletes will compete for Russia in the 2016 Summer Olympics. There will be 185 women and 150 men making up Russia’s Olympic team in Tokyo.
Russian athletes in the Tokyo Olympics will be competing under the ROC’s flag and badge rather than the country’s official banner and eagle emblem.
The Russian national anthem is likewise off-limits during the Olympic Games which held in Japan.
Conclusion
Hopefully Paris will be a showcase for the next crop of champions. A large portion of the taekwondo medalists in Tokyo were young people (seven of the eight winners were under the age of 25).
We anticipate that taekwondo in Paris will provide the stage for nations to make history, as it has for athletes from Afghanistan, Gabon, Jordan, Niger, and Vietnam in the past. Thanks for reading our article T. Minina Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
