The International Olympic Committee has removed restrictions on Belarusian athletes, allowing them to compete freely under their national flag and anthem in future qualifying events and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The lifting of restrictions should clear the way for athletes from Belarus to compete ‌freely under their own flag and anthem, including in team sports, and allow them to ‌take ⁠part in all qualifying events starting later this year for the 2028 Los ⁠Angeles Olympics
