Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under own flags at Paralympics

Six Russians and four Belarusians will be allowed to take part under their own flags at the Milan-Cortina Paralympics rather than as neutral athletes, the Games’ governing body has confirmed. Both countries were banned from Paralympic competitions after ​Moscow’s 2022 invasion ‌of Ukraine, but regained full membership rights in the IPC after member ⁠organisations voted in September 2025 to lift their partial suspensions.
