On Friday, December 8, the IOC website published a message specifying under what conditions Russian athletes will be able to be admitted to the Olympic competitions.

As it turned out, teams will not be able to take part in the Olympic Games 2024. And athletes who compete in individual sports must not explicitly support the SWO and be related to security forces.

In addition, they are forbidden to display symbols of the country. In addition, one has to qualify. Only eight people from Russia were allowed to participate in the Summer Games. While only 4600 athletes from different countries have qualified, including 60 Ukrainians. It is noted that in many sports the selection has already been completed.
