Belarusian athletes are not on the list, meaning they will not be able to participate in biathlon competitions at the 2026 Olympic Games — even in neutral status.
The Winter Olympics will be held in Italy (Milan — Cortina d'Ampezzo). So far, only five athletes from the Belarusian national team have received Olympic licenses: freestyle skier Hanna Huskova, speed skater Maryna Zuyeva, alpine skier Maryia Shkanava, figure skater Viktoryia Safonava, and cross-country skier Hanna Karalyova.
At the last Winter Olympics, there were 29 people.
Darya Dalidovich, daughter of the famous Belarusian cross-country skier Siarhei Dalidovich, who competes for the refugee team, also did not make it onto the final list.
