The return of Russian and Belarusian athletes to the Winter Olympics remains a complex and evolving process. The IOC and international federations are navigating a fragmented landscape of decisions, political pressure, and exceptions, with each federation adopting different approaches. Some sports, like skiing and figure skating, have opened the door to neutral participation, while others, like biathlon and ice hockey, maintain stricter restrictions. The situation is further complicated by ongoing political debates and the IOC's efforts to balance principles with geopolitical realities.
