OREANDA-NEWS The organizers of the athletics broadcast at the Olympic Games in Paris mistakenly put the Russian flag in the schedule.
Before the start of the hammer throwing competition, a graphic appeared indicating the world and Olympic records.
The world record (86.74 m) was set in 1986 by Yuri Sedykh, opposite which the USSR flag was indicated in the graph. The Olympic record (84.80 m) was also set at the 1988 Seoul Games by Soviet athlete Sergei Litvinov, but the organizers mistakenly placed the flag of the Russian Federation opposite his name.
The Olympic Games are held in Paris from July 26 to August 11. 15 Russians compete at the Games in five sports: seven tennis players, three representatives of kayaking and canoeing, three cyclists, one representative of trampolining and one swimmer. By the decision of the IOC, they perform in the French capital in a neutral status, without the Russian flag and anthem, and their awards will not be displayed in the medal table.
