Russian and Belarusian athletes will be allowed to compete at the Paris Paralympics in 2024 under a neutral flag after officials voted on Friday, Sept. 29, against an outright ban.
The International Paralympic Committee voted to partially suspend the Russian and Belarusian National Paralympic Committees for two years due to"breaches of constitutional membership obligations."
As a result, athletes from both nations were barred from taking part in the Winter Paralympics in Beijing in March 2022.Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak said in a post on social media that the decision"prolongs the war, and secondly, provokes Russia to increase the levels of mass violence in Ukraine."
The IOC has previously stated a decision on allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Games will be made"at the appropriate time".
