The decision applies to artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining, acrobatics, and aerobics.
The International Gymnastics Federation has allowed Belarusian and Russian athletes to compete in competitions with national flags and anthems. The corresponding decision was made on May 17 at the organization's executive committee meeting in Sharm El Sheikh.
It applies to artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining, acrobatics, and aerobics.
Since 2022, Belarusians and Russians were suspended from World Gymnastics tournaments, and from 2024, they could only compete under neutral status.
Representatives of sports acrobatics will be the first to compete — at the World Cup stages in Bulgaria and Azerbaijan, which will take place on May 29-31, June 5-7, and June 19-21.
Previously, the International Modern Pentathlon Union, World Boxing Association, International Volleyball Federation, United World Wrestling, International Equestrian Federation, and World Archery Federation announced the full restoration of rights for athletes from Belarus.
