The International Wrestling Federation (UWW) canceled the suspension of athletes from Russia and Belarus from their tournaments.

This decision was supported by the members of the organization at an extraordinary meeting.. It is reported that Russians and Belarusians will be able to participate in wrestling competitions in accordance with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

It should be noted that, despite the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, the UWW executive committee still includes representatives of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mamiashvili and Natalia Yarygina, who hold the posts of vice presidents.

Recall, the IOC allowed the return of athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus to international sports in a neutral status and provided that they are not military personnel and were not seen in support of the war in Ukraine. At the same time, the ban remained in force in team sports..
