Lausanne, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Saturday included 14 Russian and 11 Belarusian athletes on an initial list of Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs) eligible to compete in the Paris Games that will be held during Jul.26 to Aug.11, 2024. The athletes will qualify for the Games in four disciplines: road cycling, gymnastics/trampoline, weightlifting and wrestling. After initially banning the two countries' athletes from world sport, the IOC adjusted their regulations to allow their participation, under a neutral banner, subject to strict conditions and excluding team events. Last March, the IOC was expecting 36 Russians and 22 Belarussians at the Paris Games according to the most probable scenario, and a maximum of 55 and 28 respectively. Source: Qatar News Agency
