Russian and Belarusian athletes will compete as neutrals at the Beijing Winter Paralympics which start later this week, the International Paralympic Committee
Russian delegates, who were already competing as neutrals following the Russian doping scandal, must cover the Russian Paralympic Committee symbol on uniforms and Belarusian attendees must cover the Belarus flag. Parsons said the IPC is “united in its condemnation” of the invasion but is constitutionally bound to “remain politically neutral,” a neutrality he said is “anchored in the genuine belief” of sport’s transformative power.
The organization will vote on whether adherence to the Olympic Truce, which calls for peace during and after the Games, should be a membership requirement for the IPC later this year, as well as whether to suspend the Russian and Belarusian Paralympic committees for the breach.Russia, and to a lesser extent Belarus, has been widely shunned on the international sporting stage, including basketball, soccer and hockey.
