The head of the IOC announced the absence of a timetable for lifting sanctions from Russian sports.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) does not have a specific schedule for the admission of Russians to the competition. This was announced to journalists on February 1 by the head of the organization Kirsty Coventry.

"There is no timetable," TASS quoted her as saying.

At the same time, she stressed that at the 2026 Olympic Games, the relevant processes will take place in the same way as at the previous Olympics in Paris.

A lucky number: who will represent Russia at the 2026 Olympics
