Olympics: yes from the IOC to Russian and Belarusian athletes, but without the flag and not in team sports

The International Olympic Committee has authorized the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes under a neutral flag in the Paris 2024 Games.

Team events and those who actively supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine are excluded.

So far, the IOC has announced, only eleven "neutral individual athletes" have qualified for the competition, eight Russians and three Belarusians compared to around sixty Ukrainian athletes.
