25 December 2023 at 17:31 Equestrian sport says no to Russian and Belarusian participation in the Paris Olympics No athletes from Russia and Belarus will participate in the Olympic riding competitions in Paris next summer. The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has decided that. The decision is based on the fact that the athletes from Russia and Belarus have not met the qualification criteria. The FEI banned athletes from Russia and Belarus from all its events in March 2022. The decision was taken in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Recently, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed Russians and Belarusians to participate in the Paris Games as neutrals and under strict conditions. At the same time, the final decision was left to the special associations. – As Russian and Belarusian athletes have not competed in FEI competitions since March 2, 2022, there will be no representatives from these nations during the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, writes the Equestrian Federation. The reason is that the qualification period already ends on 31 December.
