US supports IOC leader’s aim to include Russian athletes in Paris 2024 Olympics 

The US Olympic & Paralympic Committee backs the idea of including Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, as long as they don’t compete under their nations’ flags or in their colors, said Susanne Lyons, chair of the USOPC board of directors, Report informs, citing The Wall Street Journal.

“The US is supportive of finding a way for the athletes who have trained all their lives for this to be able to come back and compete,” Lyons said. “But we are very opposed to them coming back under their country’s imprimatur at the moment while their governments are being sanctioned.”
