The IOC answered the question of a Ukrainian journalist about the admission of Russians

Kirsty Coventry, Head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), noted that the experience of allowing Russian athletes to participate in the Olympic Games has been successful. She stated this on December 10, answering questions from journalists after a meeting of the IOC Executive Committee.

"The process that took place before Paris (the 2024 Summer Olympics — ed.) was successful. And we're using exactly the same process now. If you have new information, you can provide it, we have James McLeod (director of the IOC Department for Relations with the National Olympic Committees — ed.), we will consider it," Coventry said in response to a question from a Ukrainian journalist.

According to RIA Novosti, the final decision will be made by the working group.
