Dragon 1,676 Posted September 20, 2022 #622 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Are there any sports where Russians can still compete using the Russian flag? And also which sports are still allowing them to compete as neutrals (apart from tennis)? Edited September 20, 2022 by Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit. Russian competed only at Grand Slam in Ulaanbaatar three months ago. Edited September 20, 2022 by rybak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
