Will Russia Be In The 2024 Olympics. Russia is fielding just 15 athletes, a result of ongoing penalties for past doping violations as well as russia's ongoing war in ukraine. Russian and belarusian athletes who have qualified for the paris 2024 olympics this summer will need to undergo a vetting process by the international olympic committee.

Dodging a contentious debate on participation, olympic officials instead issued rules that could allow athletes from russia and belarus to earn places in next year’s games. Athletes from russia and belarus have been banned from competing as countries in the 2024 paris olympics.
