being :ITA under IOC's blackmail because of the 2026 Winter Olympics, our NOC's President, Giovanni Malagò (also IOC member), said earlier Today that the Government is ready to allow :RUS and :BLR atheltes to enter the Italian territory for all the sports competitions held in our Country, especially those who should take part into the World Fencing Championships in Milan at the end of July.

 

by the way, they will be allowed only according to the IOC rules, which means complete neutrality and not being part of Russian clubs related to the National Army nor to the companies currently sanctioned by EU and/or UN*.

 

and no teams (which is a bad blow for them in terms of Olympic qualification, since it's based mainly on the team events).

 

*Sofya Pozdniakova, daughter of the great Stanislav (now President of the Russian OC), is among those who won't be allowed to compete in any case (the only -big- name of Russian fencing made by Malagò after today's press conference).

according to russian news sites, trio Pozdniakova-Velikaya-Yegoryan isn't eligible for competitions

yes, all the athletes registered for CSKA/SKA are not eligible, as they aren't those registered for clubs owned by the sanctioned companies like Gazprom and many more.

2020 OG bronze medallist in high jump :BLR Maksim Nedasekau gets the visa & residence in Poland ban - a decision made by our Foreign Ministry (more related to another hard labor camp sentence for Polish minority in Belarus leader Andrzej Poczobut but the war is still mentioned).
