The International Paralympic Committee revealed that 88 Russian athletes will compete under a neutral flag at the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris. This number is significantly higher than the athletes who participated in the Olympics.
The participation of 8 athletes from Belarus is also expected. Just like at the Olympics, Russian and Belarusian athletes will not attend the opening ceremony, and their national anthems will not be played if they win.
Athletes were vetted by an external commission to ensure they had no ties to the conflict in Ukraine or their respective militaries.
