The National Olympic Committee of Slovenia supported the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow Russians and Belarusians to participate in international competitions.

" There is no ideal solution to this difficult situation.. Therefore, at the Slovenian Olympic Committee, we support the position of the IOC in the further search for solutions in favor of sport, but in no case support any opinion on the boycott of the largest sporting event in the world,"

Recall that on March 28, the IOC returned Russians and Belarusians to international sports with a number of restrictions..

Individual athletes were allowed to compete, while the ban remains in place in team sports..

Sports federations will be able to enter only athletes who have not been seen actively supporting the war in Ukraine. The same condition applies to coaches and staff.. The participation of all Russian and Belarusian military personnel, as well as members of army organizations is prohibited..
