Russian athletes have decided to refuse to participate in the Paris\u2063 Olympics as neutrals, according to a statement by the Russian wrestling federation<\/a>. The decision \u200bwas made unanimously after a\u200b meeting involving officials, coaches, and \u2064athletes. The\u200d wrestlers were offered spots at the\u200b Olympics under the Individual Neutral Athlete program, but the \u2063federation objected\u200d to the International Olympic Committee’s choice of which wrestlers to invite. The IOC had previously invited 10\u2064 Russian wrestlers, with nine agreeing to compete and \u2062one declining. The federation’s statement did not receive an immediate response \u200bfrom the IOC, and it is unclear if any\u200c pressure was involved in the athletes’ decision. <\/p>\n
