- The 33-year-old Olympic Games took place in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024. Athletes from Russia and Belarus, admitted by the International Olympic Committee before participating in the 2024 Olympics, could only act as “individual neutral athletes”. Any symbolism of these countries in games was prohibited.
- As a result, 15 athletes from the Russian team performed in the neutral status. About 60 athletes who used to be Russians competed for other countries in Paris. More than a third of them replaced sports citizenship after the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
- Before the competition, the Russian Federation of Russiaannounced that the fighters whom the International Olympic Committee allowed to the Olympics in Paris refused to participate in it.
