" The decision on the participation of athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris has not yet been made.. We are talking about their participation in international competitions in Asia in the upcoming summer sports season.. In none of the documents published by the IOC, you will find a mention of the 2024 Olympics for athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport,"
