CORTINA D’AMPEZZO: Allowing six Russian athletes to participate in next month’s Milano Cortina Paralympics with their flag and anthem is outrageous and a sign of support for Russia’s propaganda, Ukraine’s sports minister said on Wednesday. Russia and Belarus will have a combined 10 para athletes at next month’s Paralympics following Tuesday’s decision by the International Paralympic Committee.

Six Russian and four Belarusian athletes will be allowed to compete under their own national flags at the 2026 Paralympics in Milan-Cortina.
