This decision marks the end of restrictions that have been in place since February 2022.\n\nAccording to an official IOC press release, the committee emphasizes that an athlete's participation in international competitions should not be limited by the actions of their government, including involvement in armed conflict. This principle underpins the new stance, allowing Belarusian competitors to once again represent their nation's colors and flag.\n\nThe change means Belarusian athletes are now eligible to compete under their own flag at major IOC-sanctioned events, including the Olympic Games. This is a notable return to normalcy for the country's sporting representatives on the global stage.\n\nWhile the IOC sets the overarching recommendation, individual international sports federations retain the authority to make their own final decisions regarding athlete eligibility. However, it is standard practice for these federations to align with the IOC's general policy direction.\n\nThe situation for Russia stands in stark contrast. The IOC confirmed that Russian athletes and officials remain banned from IOC competitions. The committee cited ongoing concerns related to the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) thorough review of the Russian national anti-doping system as a primary reason for the continued exclusion.\n\nThe IOC noted that while there have been constructive discussions with the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) regarding its suspension, the ban will persist. The IOC's Legal Affairs Commission continues to monitor the situation closely.\n\nThis development follows a similar move by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), which had already permitted Belarusian athletes to compete under their own flag at the upcoming 2026 Winter Paralympic Games, acting slightly ahead of the IOC's decision.\n\nBased on reporting from Sport | DR.","news","The International Olympic Committee has ended its recommendation to exclude Belarusian athletes from competitions. They can now represent their country at events like the Olympics, while Russia's ban continues.","327857094281662465","0","2026-05-07T14:59:00Z","ioc-lifts-all-restrictions-on-belarusian-athletes-russia-remains-banned","DR Sporten","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dr.dk\u002Fsporten\u002Fioc-haever-alle-restriktioner-belarusiske-atleter","326257664642256896","Belarus",[54,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67],"326222707618222080","326222711447621632","326222767596769280","326255039171530752","326255039884562432","326257539731689472","326257551035338752","326257700071542784","326257796423094272","326222707169431552","326222713142120448",[55,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79],"Dender","France","Somalia","Dinamo Minsk","Vardar Skopje","Hellas Verona","TSV Hartberg","Olympic","Russia","Anderlecht","Canada","IOC Lifts All Restrictions on Belarusian Athletes, Russia Remains Banned",[82,100,115,135],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":83,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":84,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":21,"matchId":49,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":85,"slug":86,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":88,"teamId":54,"teamName":55,"teamIds":89,"teamNames":94,"title":99},"Russian MP and Olympic legend Irina Rodnina says Russia will eventually achieve lifting of IOC sanctions, following the removal of restrictions on Belarusian","328241659059900417","2026-05-08T16:29:37Z","rodnina-on-belarus-sanctions-lift-russia-s-ioc-return-next","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffigureskating\u002Fnews-6461092-pridet-i-nashe-vremya-rodnina-o-snyatii-ogranichenij-s-belorusskih-sportsmenov.html",[54,64,65,66,90,91,92,93],"326255039762927616","326255042854129664","326255043911094272","326255043940454400",[55,76,77,78,95,96,97,98],"Sheriff Tiraspol","FC Urartu","Shelbourne","Banga","Rodnina on Belarus Sanctions Lift: Russia's IOC Return Next?",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":101,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":102,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":21,"matchId":49,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":103,"slug":104,"sourceName":87,"sourceURL":105,"teamId":106,"teamName":107,"teamIds":108,"teamNames":111,"title":114},"The International Tennis Federation has upheld its suspension of Russian and Belarusian players, ignoring the IOC's call to lift restrictions on Belarusian athletes.
