The Kremlin is signaling a resurgence in Russia's participation in international sports, citing dialogue with the IOC and various federations. Following FIDE's decision to readmit Russia, and with similar moves by the International Judo Federation and the International Sambo Federation, Russia is seeing a gradual lifting of restrictions. While the Russian Olympic Committee remains suspended and Russia is barred from hosting major events, several federations are allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under their national flags and anthems. The IOC is also reviewing its neutrality standards, acknowledging the need for clarification and emphasizing the importance of athletes' access to competition without political interference, though implementation will vary by federation.
