- The International Olympic Committee provisionally ended the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee after it ceased activities in Ukrainian occupied territories.
- Russia was suspended in October 2023 following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with athletes competing neutrally at the 2024 and 2026 Games.
- This move allows Russian athletes to enter qualification events for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, while decisions on national symbols are still pending.
- The decision has faced opposition from Ukraine and athlete groups who question the timing and accountability amidst continuing conflict and doping concerns.
We don't condone any wars, including this one. We will continue to support Ukraine like we have since this started. But I don't believe athletes should pay the price. We don't want to hold athletes accountable for the actions of their government.— IOC President Kirsty Coventry at a press conference
