MUNICH: The International Paralympic Committee on Saturday decided to lift a partial suspension of Russia and Belarus imposed since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. This decision, taken at the IPC’s general assembly meeting in Seoul, opens the way for Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under their own flags at the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games next year. However, competition in the six sports on the program is governed by international federations that have so far maintained a ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes.

Das ebnet den Weg für die Teilnahme russischer und belarussischer Sportler an den Paralympischen Winterspielen Anfang kommenden Jahres.
