The General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee Restored the Status of the Russian Organization

The General Assembly of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has voted to fully restore the status of the Russian Paralympic Committee.

According to a statement on the IPC website, delegates were first asked to consider a proposal for Russia’s full suspension, and then an extension of existing restrictions. In both cases the majority voted against.

Restrictions on the Russian Paralympic Committee had been in place since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Their removal now allows Russian athletes to once again compete under the national flag.
