The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has admitted Russian and Belarusian athletes to the Summer Olympic Games in Paris in individual neutral status, according to the organization’s website.
“The ITF’s decision is in line with that of most international federations regarding individual competitions and athletes participating in the 2024 Games in Paris this summer.” The ITF’s position is also in line with the existing international tennis policy adopted in March 2022, the ITF said in a release.
Thus, Russian and Belarusian tennis players will be able to take part in the Games if they also meet the selection and admission criteria set out in the ITF rules.
The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11.
