Russian swimmer Evgeny Somov has received an invitation from the International Olympic Committee (IOC ) to participate in the 2024 Games in Paris, according to the official website organizations.
In June, it became known that Somov had been granted neutral status, giving him the right to participate in the 2024 Olympics.
In February 2022, the IOC recommended that sports federations not allow Russians and Belarusians to participate in international tournaments. Later, the recommendations were softened, and in December 2023, IOC chief Thomas Bach said the organization would allow Russian and Belarusian athletes who had passed the selection process to the 2024 Summer Games in an individual neutral status. The athletes will be able to perform in Paris without a flag, anthem, or other national symbols.
The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
