IOC Lifts Russia Olympic Suspension

The International Olympic Committee has lifted its suspension on Russia, paving the way for Russian athletes to compete at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The ban was originally imposed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Previously, only a small number of Russian athletes were permitted to compete as neutral athletes at recent Olympic events, after passing a vetting process to confirm they had not publicly supported the war. The IOC has not yet clarified whether Russia will be allowed to use its national flag and anthem at the Games. raccoongame.org
