The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Executive Committee will discuss the recommendations International Olympic Committee (IOC) for the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes on May 12 and 13, reports the FIG press service.
The FIG Executive Committee will be held in Antalya (Türkiye).
On March 28, the IOC announced recommendations on the admission of Russian and Belarusian athletes to international competitions in a neutral status. Recommendations include individual clearance, status neutrality, banning team sports, and banning athletes associated with security forces or who have expressed support for the CWO. A decision on the Paris 2024 Olympics will be taken “at the appropriate time”, said the IOC.
In February 2022, due to the situation in Ukraine, the FIG banned the use of Russian and Belarusian flags and anthems in international tournaments, and in March of the same year deprived athletes from Russia and Belarus of the right to participate in competitions.
Under the auspices of the FIG, competitions are held in artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline and other disciplines.
