IOC ruled that Russian, Belarusian athletes would have to compete as individual athletes at the quadrennial event slated to be held in France in July.
Olympic chiefs announced Tuesday that Russian and Belarusian athletes competing in this summer’s Paris Games under a neutral flag will not be able to take part in the opening ceremony.
Neutral athletes from either country “will not participate in the parade of delegations and teams during the opening ceremony since they are individual athletes”, IOC director James McCloud said after an executive board meeting of the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne.
