The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reactivated its official webpage about Russia. This page had been inaccessible since 2023.
The IOC Executive Board, in a decision taken last week, temporarily reinstated the status of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). As part of the same decision, all advisories to international sports federations recommending restrictions on Russian athletes were formally lifted.
The IOC suspended the ROC in October 2023 for incorporating the Olympic councils of the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions, and withdrew its status as a National Olympic Committee. Following that decision, the ROC amended its charter and removed all regional members from its structure.
