Belarusian athletes will return to the international arena with state symbols

Belarusian athletes will once again perform with the flag and anthem of their country at all international competitions. The day before, the IOC lifted all restrictions. After four years of isolation, Belarusian athletes can return to the international arena under state symbols. However, now it's up to the international federations. It depends on them how quickly this decision will be implemented, and whether it will be implemented at all. The NOC of Belarus fully supports the statement of the International Organization that the participation of athletes in competitions should not depend on political decisions.
