In light of the discussion around the principles, the Olympic Summit supported the International Olympic Committee [IOC] Executive Board’s recommendation that youth athletes with a russian or Belarusian passport should no longer be restricted in their access to international youth competitions, in both individual and team sports.
The definition of youth competitions and the application of these recommendations depends for this purpose on the regulations of each International Federation (IF). The Summit participants committed to take these discussions back to their organizations for their consideration.International Federations should continue to refrain from organizing or supporting international sports events in russia but this recommendation no longer applies to Belarus.
In 2023, the president of IOC Thomas Bach called on Ukraine to drop a possible boycott of the 2024 Olympics over the participation of Belarusian and russian athletes.
