Russian and Belarusian athletes could participate in Asian events with the International Olympic Committee looking at options for their return to international competitions
The IOC said on Wednesday the Olympic Council of Asia had offered Russian and Belarusian athletes the chance to compete in Asia.
The IOC is eager to include Russian and Belarusian athletes as neutrals at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which would mean competing under the Olympic flag, but it is still unclear if and how they could qualify. A pathway for their return to competition "under strict conditions" should be further explored, it said."The vast majority in each of the consultation meetings requested the IOC to continue the exploration of the above-mentioned concept by way of bilateral consultation, with each International Federation being the sole authority for its international competitions," it said in the statement.
