In a recent interview with Xinhua, Ethiopia's multiple Olympic gold medalist Haile Gebreselassie said the ongoing provocation by some Western politicians and countries to shun the upcoming Winter Olympics should be met seriously by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Gebreselassie said the provocation would not have any meaningful impact, as the Olympics need athletes, not politicians.
