Summary

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has lifted restrictions on Russian athletes, allowing them to participate in team events and qualifying competitions for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. This decision follows a legal review that found the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) no longer includes Ukrainian regional sports organizations. A similar decision was previously made for Belarus. Russia has been excluded from international sport since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and the ROC was suspended by the IOC in 2023.
