The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) reiterated its opposition to a boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on Wednesday. In remarks to reporters ahead of a US Olympic team media event, USOPC president Susanne Lyons said boycotts were ineffective. "We at the USOPC oppose athlete boycotts because they've been shown to negatively impact athletes while not effectively addressing global issues," Lyons said. rcw/dw
