Russian and Belarusian athletes will be allowed to participate as neutrals at the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing, the International Paralympic Committee said.
The decision, which comes as the sporting world continues to impose sanctions on Russia and Belarus following the former's invasion of Ukraine, means athletes from the two countries will compete under the Paralympic flag and will not be included in the medal table.The Russian delegation must cover the Russian Paralympic Committee symbol on their uniforms in all official ceremonies and sporting competitions, the IPC said.
On January 28, UN Secretary-General António Guterres asked nations around the world to lay down their weapons and observe an Olympic Truce from seven days before the Beijing Games until seven days after the end of the Paralympic Games."What we have decided upon is the harshest possible punishment we can hand down within our constitution and the current IPC rules," added Parsons.
