Russian President Vladimir Putin said on January 25 that both Russia and China oppose the politicization of sports, oppose "show-style" boycotts, and abide by the Olympic spirit of advocating equality and justice. In this regard, Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 26th that China highly appreciates President Putin's positive support for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Zhao Lijian said that the Olympic delegation sent by the Russian side with 461 people is very strong, including many world-class celebrities in alpine skiing, figure skating, biathlon, ice hockey and other sports, and they also have many Chinese fans.
He said that in recent years, films such as "Legend 17" and "Figure Skating Queen" that tell the story of ice and snow sports in the Soviet period and Russia have aroused strong repercussions in China. This year is also the opening year of the Sino-Russian Sports Exchange Year, and the people of both countries have warm expectations for the new "Frozen".
"There are still 9 days to go before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and I wish athletes from all over the world, including Russian athletes, another good result and shine in the Beijing Olympic Games." Zhao Lijian said. (Reporter Zhu Chao)
