‘Politicized sport’: Supreme Leader says West’s double standards evident in Paris Olympics, Paralympics

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamanei has deplored “double standards” employed by the countries ruling over international sports federations, saying that the flawed policies were starkly evident during the recently concluded 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in the French capital Paris.

Ayatollah Khamanei made the remarks on Tuesday in a meeting with a group of Iranian medalists, athletes, coaches and organizers of Iranian sports delegations to the international multi-sport events.
