The IOC will soon announce a decision on the participation of Russians in the opening of the 2024 Games
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) answered a question about the participation of Russian athletes in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics. The press service of the organization is quoted by RIA Novosti.
“This will be announced shortly,” the IOC said. The next meeting of the organization’s executive committee will be held in Lausanne (Switzerland) from March 19 to 21.
Earlier, the Russian Paralympic Committee said that Russians and Belarusians would miss the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris by decision of the International Paralympic Committee.
In December 2023, the IOC decided to admit Russians and Belarusians to the Olympics in Paris. They will be able to take part in the tournament as individual neutral athletes. At the same time, athletes who support a special operation in Ukraine, or who have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to participate in the 2024 Games. In addition, representatives of team sports will miss the tournament.
