International Olympic Committee lifts restrictions on Belarusian athletes
AI Summary
The International Olympic Committee has lifted restrictions on Belarusian athletes, allowing them to compete under their own flag and anthem for the upcoming events, including qualifiers for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This decision is seen as a significant move towards inclusivity for Belarus athletes.
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
