well, they both represent Dynamo which is considered a para-military society so they won't get neutral status. Andrey Minakov and Nika Godun applied and got it

Could the exemption for clubs funded by the military help them? Or are they more involved in the military?

Yeah, probably that would help. But some athletes from these clubs also get formal military ranks, I'm not sure how World Aquatics will estimate this.

Godun has been training in Italy and Hungary for over 2 years. It's strange that she didn't take a Hungarian passport. Our predecures are so long that it probably wouldn't make sense.

Some more Russians including Evgeniia Chikunova and WJR holder Miron Lifintsev have been approved to compete as neutrals but still no Kliment Kolesnikov.

Sarah Sj枚str枚m who has not competed since August will take a longer break from competitions during 2025. However she is still aiming for her 6th olympics.
