Belarus has been used as a staging ground for Russia\u2019s invasion, which Moscow calls a \u201cspecial military operation\u201d.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt is not about necessarily having Russia back. It\u2019s about having athletes with a Russian passport who do not support the war back in competition,\u201d Bach told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere comes our dilemma \u2013 this war has not been started by the Russian athletes. But we saw that some governments did not want to respect anymore the autonomy of international sports\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why we\u2019ve had to take these protective measures to be at least still a little bit in the driving seat and not lose all autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is why, on the other hand, we also have to see, and to study, to monitor, how and when we can come back to accomplish our mission to have everybody back again, under which format whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The German stressed that the current guidance on Russian athletes was still standing but added that the IOC also needed to think about the future. Some qualifying events for the 2024 Paris Olympics have already taken place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no change in the recommendations\u2026 We are very grateful to the International Federations that they are following them,\u201d Bach added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Olympic Movement has as a mission to contribute to peace, so we have to see how we can contribute to peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think our major contribution is to have the Olympic Games, and to have sport in general, as something that still unifies people and humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Silvia Recchimuzzi in Gdansk and Karolos Grohmann; Editing by Christian Radnedge)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/olympics-russian-athletes-who-do\/attachment\/executive-board-meeting-of-the-international-olympic-committee-in-lausanne-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8T14K-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8T14K-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Reuters) \u2013 The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is considering a return to competition of Russian athletes who do not support the country\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, IOC president Thomas Bach said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889403,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1667093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sports\/olympics-russian-athletes-who-do\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=olympics-russian-athletes-who-do","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1667093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1667093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1667093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1667093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
