International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach doubled down on the organization's efforts to help Russian and Belarusian athletes qualify for the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
Bach was asked Sunday whether he was concerned the IOC would be remembered as being on the wrong side of history for with their decision to back the Russian and Belarusian athletes.
"No, history will show who is doing more for peace. The ones who try to keep lines open, to communicate, or the ones who want to isolate or divide," Bach told reporters at the Alpine skiing world championships.
